The HomePro Z-Wave Lighting and Appliance Control System
gives you the following functionality.
RF Home Automation
WIRELESS CONTROLLER
This user manual is designed to guide
you through the setup and features of
the HomePro Z-Wave Lighting and
Appliance Control System. You will be
amazed at the possibilities for control.
You can easily enhance the comfort and
security of your home or office. You’ll
see how easy it is to quickly create a
totally customized system that can
remotely control lamps and appliances
without costly professional installation...a
system that any do-it-yourself person
can easily handle.
For example, with just one Wireless
Controller you can control up to 64
individual lamp units or wall switches!
You can control a single receiver, in
groups, or all receivers at once. You can
turn on custom programmed mood
lighting and use timers for lighting as a
burglar deterrent.
This user guide tells you how to create
your system. Instructions for installation
and setup of built-in components (wall
switches, dimmers, etc.) are included
with those components.
Safety and Security
n All OFF/ALL ON
On the way out you can turn off all lights in the house with one
button. At night, if you hear noises, you can turn all lights in the
house on from your bedroom.
n Timers
Let the clock control your lamps and appliances so they automatically turn on and off at preset hours. You won’t ever have to come
into a dark house again.
Comfort
n Remote Control
Control your lights wirelessly from the sofa, the bed, the kitchen or
wherever you are.
n Grouping
No more wandering from lamp to lamp. Control groups of lamps
simultaneously with one button.
n Scenes
Create and save custom lighting scenes for special occasions like
dinner parties, TV watching, romantic atmosphere, book reading, etc.
n Dimming
Dimming lights with the HomePro Control System saves on electric
bills.
n Thermostat Control
Switch from Heating to Cooling modes and adjust setpoint from
your easy chair.
Full Coverage plus added communication with Version 1.26
One of the key features of the HomePro Z-Wave is the fact that Z-Wave automatically routes the signal from one
device to the next, effectively going around obstacles and radio dead spots in your home or office. You only need to
be within 100 feet of any HomePro Z-Wave device to communicate with all other HomePro Z-Wave devices, so the
more HomePro Z-Wave enabled devices you have in your home or office, the better the coverage and the more
reliable the network becomes.
New software features (Version 1.26) allow changing the factory configuration of devices and reviewing the settings.
In addition it allows association of a device with other specific devices and a review of those associations. The
version of any HomePro ZTH100 can be verified by the following: Go to Setup Menu/Reset Remote Control/Factory
Default/press ALL LIGHTS OFF button.
The ZTH100 allows most devices into a group so they can be controlled by the remote. The device types that will
specifically not be added to a group (though they will be added to the Z-Wave system) are the following: Thermostat
Controller, Repeater Slave, Binary Sensor, Multilevel Sensor, Pulse Meter, Entry Control and Non Interoperable.
The types listed above will not be controlled by the remote because they either have nothing to control or do not support
the BASIC COMMAND which the remote uses to turn devices on and off. Device ID is shown when the device is added
to the network.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The HomePro product line from Advanced Control Technologies includes several products that are intended to work
together to provide convenient control of all of your home lighting and appliances. By using the ZTH100 Wireless
Controller, all of these HomePro devices are linked by a state of the art wireless communications network featuring
patented Z-Wave technology. This technology insures that the commands that you give through the Wireless
Controller are reliably communicated by radio frequency to the intended HomePro device.
The Wireless Controller operates up to 64 HomePro devices, which include both plug-in and wall mounted dimmers
and switches. The Wireless Controller finds a way to route your commands to the intended device through other
HomePro dimmers and switches. This is possible because each of these devices are designed to retransmit the
commands that are sent through them to adjacent devices that might otherwise be out of range of the Wireless
Controller. The Z-Wave system provides that a command can be routed if necessary through as many as four
different devices in route to the intended device.
Communication with devices employing Z-Wave technology is bidirectional. That is, when a command is sent from
a Wireless Controller, an acknowledgment is sent back to it by the affected devices to confirm that the command
was received (not necessarily that the load changed state). In the unusual situation in which a command is not
properly received, a message will appear on the Wireless Controller’s display to inform the User.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 GETTING STARTED
Congratulations on your purchase of the ZTH100 and other HomePro components. This manual will guide
you in understanding the full capabilities of the HomePro System and operation of the Wireless Controller.
Remove battery cover of ZTH100 Controller and install two AA batteries noting the correct direction.
2. TIME
2.1 SETTING THE TIME
To set time, begin by pressing “MENU” button.
Note: Use arrow buttons to scroll though hours and minutes
3. GENERAL OPERATION
3.1 WIRELESS CONTROLLER SOFTWARE FEATURES.
• Provides user level control for 64 modules (i.e. one module, one group).
• Allows configuring of 64 groups.
• Eight (8) timers are available to the user. Each timer can be used to control any one of the existing groups.
• Displays the time in 12 hour AM/PM format.
• Allows multiple wireless controllers (one master and one or more secondary ones) in various locations for
convenience.
• Allows multiple Wireless Controllers “Each wireless controller comes pre-programmed from the factory with
a unique Home ID. This ID prevents unintended access to a user’s network of modules by neighbors or
others who may also be using HomePro products. If a user desires to add additional controllers to their
HomePro network however, there is a provision to allow this to be done without compromising this important feature (see section 4.6.5).”
3.2 POWER DOWN AND DISPLAY TIME-OUT
The ZTH100 goes into a power saving mode after a period of inactivity in order to conserve battery life.
Pressing any button will cause the unit to “wake up” and process any of your commands. The display is
blank in the power down mode.

4. HOW TO USE THE ZTH100 FEATURES
4.1 MENU NAVIGATION AND SELECTION
Pushing the “Menu” button will activate the menu display.:
a. and buttons are used to navigate through the menu. All menu levels wrap
around.
b. activates the currently selected menu item and recalls information from thermostat.
c. (or Clear) cancels the currently selected item and will in most instances step back to the
previously selected menu level. If used from top menu level the Controller will return to clock
display.
The top menu level behaves like this: Using the right and left arrow buttons you can toggle right or left through the
menu selections of : GROUPS
SCENES
TIMER
SETUP
THERMOSTAT
Top level menus wrap around, so arrow buttons in any direction will repeat menu selections. Push OK or C button
to activate display if asleep (blank).
Select any one by pressing OK. Follow instructions to set up that function (explained in following paragraphs). Using
the Clear button (C) at any time will take you back to the Time (which will auto-off after 5 seconds).
4.2 GROUPS/SCENES
The layout and behavior of the “groups” and “scenes” menus are very similar. Where they are identical, “groups” is
used as an example. Push OK or C button to activate display if asleep.
To select groups from 7 to 64 or scenes from 7 to 32 see page 28, section 5.5.2 and 5.2.3.

4.2.1 ADD MODULE TO GROUP
4.2.2 ADD MODULE TO SCENE.
Adding a module to a group using the menu is
done this way:
A group is a set of one or more modules that
are to be operated together as if they were
one device. More specifically, every module
that is included in a group will switch on or off
together as that group is turned on and off.
When a group is activated, each Lamp
Module in that group turns on, returning to its
last dim level – a level that in general, will
differ from module to module. Appliance
Modules may also be included in groups.
Alternatively if the group has been named, the
name shows up instead of the number. To add
more units repeat the procedure “ADD UNIT TO
GROUP”. Groups and scenes may each be
given user-defined names. See section 4.2.5 for
instructions on how to do this.
Adding a module to a scene is done this way:
Note: A Lamp or Appliance Module may be
included as a member of several different groups,
several different scenes, or several groups and
scenes.
Note: All of the properties of groups and scenes
also apply to HomePro wall dimmers and
switches.
A scene is a combination of one or more modules, except that the controller stores not only the combination,
but also the desired dim level for each Lamp Module. The dim level is stored at the time that a Lamp Module is
added to a scene. Consequently, when a scene is activated, the Lamp Modules will all go to their previously
defined dim levels regardless of what their most recent dim level may have been. Some modules may get
brighter while others may be pre-programmed by the user to become dimmer. Because Appliance and Wall
Switch Modules are switching devices, they will either be defined as on or off when added to a scene.
Note that hitting “C” will not clear units that have already been stored in the selected scene. A module is stored in
a scene when “UNIT INCLUDED” is shown in the display.
