Z-Wave is universal, which means the first Z-Wave switch model, the newest Z-Wave Plus device and every Z-Wave-certified item in between are compatible. Over-the-air updates to make available the latest features as quickly as possible.Enhanced internal memory to add unique parameters for improved customization.Upgrades experienced through Z-Wave Plus compared to previous Z-Wave generations include: Z-Wave Plus is the latest version when it comes to Z-Wave certification. Extended signal range increases your home automation coverage to enhance your control. Range extender – The switch repeats your Z-Wave signal from your hub or other Z-Wave device to extend your range by up to 150ft.Connect up to 4 add-on switches to the same light, fan or appliance. Multi-switch compatible – Easily replace any standard in-wall switch equipped with a neutral wire in single-pole or multi-switch setups when paired with add-on switches (model 46199).Additional colors of the easily changeable buttons are available. Changeable buttons – White and light almond buttons are included to match your existing switches.Custom operation – With 5 time-out duration options ranging from 5 seconds to 30 minutes and 3 motion-sensitivity levels, the switch accommodates any room with varying amounts of activity.

Light-sensing option – In occupancy mode, choose to allow the switch to activate any time motion is detected or only in low-light situations.
#Ge z wave smart switch manual
To deactivate the motion sensor, select manual operation. Occupancy mode turns lights ON/OFF automatically, while lights are turned on manually and off automatically in the vacancy setting.

The motion detector is advertised as having a 180 degree detection area, and so far, it seems close to that.Įrgonomically, the switch looks quite good, and the button presses have a solid feel, with the usual click of an on/off switch. With the sensitivity turned to "high", the motion detector triggers very quickly, which is good, as the light turns on in the room nearly instantly upon entering (and this is using a program on my ISY to turn on the lights, the load being controlled by a Z-Wave HomeSeer WD 200+). Which makes it operate exactly like any other Z-Wave motion detector I've owned.

I have the switch set to Manual Mode (there are three operational modes for this deviceġ) - Occupancy - the motion detector directly controls the loadĢ) - Vacancy - the motion detector will not turn the load on, but will turn it offģ) - Manual - the motion detector will not turn the load on or off) I have this device installed where it load it controls is a closet light, but that's not the device that I want the motion sensor to activate. The installation created 5 nodes (screenshot), though only two are really useful in my installation (On-Off Power Switch and Motion Sensor 1).

It does, however, share that junction box with a HomeSeer WD 200+, which acts as a Z-Wave repeater, so that may have helped. I was happy to note that I was able to include the switch from the junction box it was installed in, which is roughly 60' from my ISY. Installation was easy enough, though the device is roughly the same size as an Insteon SwitchLinc or a HomeSeer WD 200+.
#Ge z wave smart switch series
My ISY is running the current 5.3.0 firmware/AC with the 500 series Z-Wave dongle installed. In an effort to eliminate motion sensors (barnacles, as my wife calls them), either Z-Wave or Insteon from the walls of our house, I bought one of these in order to see if it could be a useful alternative.
