Foxx Smart Switch
SKU: FOXESES
Quickstart
This is a secure On/Off Power Switch for Europe. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply.
Plug the device into a power outlet and set your controller into inclusion mode. If you are unsure how to do that please refer to your controller"s
manual. Press the button on the bottom of the Smart Switch once to start the inclusion. The device will now try to include itself into the Z-Wave
network. Please refer to your controller for a progress report.
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
The Foxx Smart Switch with power metering feature is an intelligent and most sophisticated, remotely controlled outlet adapter. This highly functional wall
plug can be applied wherever you want to control electrical devices, while monitoring power consumption in a convenient and maintenance-free way.
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.
Installation
Plug the device into the Wall Outlet
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
Single click on the program switch.
Exclusion
Single click on the program switch.
Product Usage
After the Foxx Smart Switch has been included into your Z-Wave network it can start controlling connected devices and monitoring the power consumption.
That way you always know how much power the connected device is using and can switch it on or off as you see fit. You can define scenes in your
controller"s settings that allow you to turn the switch on or off depending on the configured condition. It is also possible to control other devices in your
Network once your Smart Switch has changed.
Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities.
The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network
operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action: Single click on the program switch.
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.

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated
wall controllers.
Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.
Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announces that is able to communicate.
Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
