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.

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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

WiDom Smart TE Dimmer is an "in-wall device" that controls the luminosity level and/or fan speed. A universal device that controls the light intensity of all types of dimmable lights, including LED lamps and energy-saving lamps. The Smart TE Dimmer includes the ON / OFF control option of non-dimmable loads. 

WiDom Smart TE Dimmer is very easy to install and works with both momentary and toggle switches. 

It operates in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave/Z-Wave Plus certified devices and controllers from any other manufacturer. As a constantly powered node, WiDom Smart TE Dimmer will act as repeater regardless of the vendor in order to increase the reliability of the network.

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.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Press 6 times the integrated button

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.

Installation

Line - Phase connection terminal
Null - Neutral connection terminal
Output Load - Lamp or fan to be dimmed
Line Signal - External Switch Connection
Integrated Button
1 click to enter in Learn Mode
6 clicks to reset the system to manufacturer‘s settings

Electrical connections diagram


TIP: The antenna must not be shortened, removed or modified. To ensure maximum efficiency, it must be installed as shown. Large size metal equipment near the antenna can negatively affect reception. Each WiDom device is a node in a mesh network. If
there are metal obstacles, the obstacle can often be overcome with a further triangulation node.

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.

Inclusion

Press any sequence of click on the integrated button

Exclusion

Press any sequence of click on the integrated button

Product Usage

LED status indicator

The system includes an RGB LED that shows the device’s status during installation:

Solid RED: the device is not included in any network
OFF: the device is already associated to a Z-Wave network
Blink GREEN: the device has sent an unsolicited Multilevel Frame to Lifeline group
Blink YELLOW: the device has sent an unsolicited Meter Frame to Lifeline group
Blink VIOLET: the device has sent a command to the association device. The number of blinks is equal to the ID Association group
Sequence of GREEN-BLUE Learn Mode for inclusion
Sequence of RED-BLUE Learn Mode for exclusion
Blink RED: overheat protection mode.
 
INFO: The Learn Mode status is activated or deactivated by a single click on the integrated button.

TIP:
To test if the electrical connections are correct, before the inclusion of the device, while pressing n times the external switch, the RGB LED should flash green for the same amount of times. If it does not, check the wire connections.

Overheat protection mode
The device constantly monitors its temperature, and when an overheating occurs, it enters in overheat protection mode by turning OFF the load. During the protection mode the LED status indicator blinks RED and the load can’t be controlled. When the temperature returns to a normal range the device will exit from overheat protection mode and the load can be controlled again.

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

Association - one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

Association Groups:

Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 8 Lifeline
2 8 Dimming

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
