Press (tap) the top of the paddle to power the load.
Press (tap) the bottom of the paddle to cut power to the load.
If configured as a dimmer, press and hold the top or bottom of the paddle increase or decrease the dim level.
Remote Control
On / Off / Dim control is available remotely using wireless Z-Wave commands. Consult your controller manual for details.
HomeSeer Compatibility
Your new HomeSeer switch is Z-Wave certified and is ready to be used with a wide variety of home automation hubs and controllers. All features are fully supported by
HomeSeer systems but some Advanced Features (see below) may not be fully supported by other controllers. If you're using another brand of controller, be sure to check with
that company to determine compatibility.
Advanced Features
Your new HomeSeer switch includes advanced features that may be accessed with HomeSeer and other systems.
Multi-tap scene control or event triggering
Tapping the top or bottom of the paddle 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times in rapid succession will broadcast Z-Wave central scene commands to the hub. These commands may be used to
trigger automations (like HomeSeer events).
RGB LED Indicators
The color of all LED indicators may be controlled with Z-Wave parameter commands from the hub. This may be done manually or via automations, if supported by the hub.
HomeSeer hubs are designed to send these parameter commands with event actions.
Normal mode: LED indicators glow to reflect the on/off/dim status of the connected load using a palette of 7 possible colors (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow,
white).
Status mode: Individual LEDs can be controlled to reflect the status of nearly anything in the home. For example, one LED can be programmed to glow yellow when the
garage door is open. Another LED can blink red when motion is sensed in the driveway. The possibilities are endless.
Switching between normal mode and status mode: HS-WX300 switches operate in normal mode by default unless or until a status command is received. When that
happens, normal mode is suspended and the switch goes into status mode. It will stay in status mode until all status LEDs are turned off. At that point, the switch will
revert to normal mode.
Note: If a switch is operating in status mode, manually dimming it will cause the LEDs to operate temporarily in normal mode. After the dimming operation is complete,
the switch will revert to status mode.
Non-HomeSeer Compatibility
The special features of this switch are supported using a number of different Z-Wave technologies. HomeSeer systems are designed to support these technologies and will
provide the most seamless operation of these features. However, other systems may also provide satisfactory results depending on the level of support they provide for these
same technologies. If you're using a non-HomeSeer system, use the information below and consult with your system manufacturer to determine the level of compatibility.
Multi-tap scene control or event triggering
This feature uses the Z-Wave CENTRAL SCENE command class. If the system supports this command class AND utilizes a general interrogation process for inclusion, this
feature should work. However, if the system employs an inclusion process based on the Z-Wave product ID, then specific product support would need to be implemented.
RGB LED Indicators
This feature is supported using Z-Wave parameter commands. Most Z-Wave certified systems provide a method for issuing parameter commands to individual products.
HomeSeer systems simplify the use of this feature by providing event actions to send parameter commands. A complete list of parameters may be found on the next page.
Instant Status
This feature is supported using a Z-Wave SWITCH MULTILEVEL REPORT (dimmer mode) and SWITCH BINARY REPORT (on-off switch mode) and the CENTRAL SCENE
command class. All Z-Wave certified systems should support the SWITCH MULTILEVEL REPORT feature.
Attention SmartThings users
A special device handler is required to enable your hub to use the advanced features of this switch. Information about installing this may be found at:
Z-Wave SmartStart
SmartStart enabled products can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code* with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is
required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.
*QR Code is located on the HS-WX300 metal yoke under the switch paddle.
Interoperability
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as
repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network
