Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.

What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description

The Zigbee 3.0 RGB and CCT LED controller is compatible with multiple gateways such as the Aeotec Smart Home Hub, Homee, Philips Hue Hub or Amazon"s Alexa Echo Plus. With this smart controller, LED Strips with RGB and CCT (5-in-1) chipsets as well as all standard LED products with 12/24V power supply can be controlled conveniently via a smart home gateway. This allows you to switch on/off, change the color, change the color temperature and dim LED strips, LED recessed spotlights, LED outdoor lighting or even pool lighting.

This product works with the following LED Stripes: 

The LED Controller does not include a power adapter. Get this power adapter to run it with a 24V LED Strip:

Features:

What is RGB?
RGB stands for red, green and blue. RGB lights are equipped with 3 LED Chips. That allows individual color changes and light spectrums by combining the red, green and blue LED light. Overall there are 16 million different light colors, that can be configured with RGB LEDs.

What is RGBW?
RGBW stand for red, green, blue and white. These lights are equipped with 4 LED Chips. With the extra white LED Chip, a clear white light can be set more efficiently and precisely, because the RGB LEDs are not combined to generate a white light.

What is CCT?
CCT stands for correlated color temperature. When using LED lights, CCT stands for a controllable color temperature. The color temperatures reach from 2700 to 6500 Kelvin and can be controlled individually with the correct controller. Warm white light is measured at 2700 Kelvin, neutral white at 4000 Kelvin and daylight at 6500 Kelvin. Depending on the day time you can set a warm or cold color temperature. On one hand its recommended to set a warm light in the evening, similar to the setting sun. On the other hand daylight is more convenient in the morning hours.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
