Adding Your Fan Controller
WEB VERSION
to A Hub
Leviton Decora Smart branded Z-Wave enabled products support two
methods of inclusion. When using a Z-Wave Plus certified controller
choose Network Wide Inclusion or SmartStart. If network wide inclusion
does not discover your device, try classic inclusion.
Network Wide Inclusion to A Z-Wave Network
Modern Z-Wave Plus hubs support network wide inclusion which allows
your device to be included into the network using devices already
paired to your home automation hub.
Start with the devices closest to the hub and work your
way outward.
1. To enter programming mode, hold the top of the paddle for
7 seconds. The status light will turn amber, release and the
status light will blink.
2. Tap the top of the paddle 1 time. The status light will quickly
flash green.
3. The fan controller is now ready to learn into the Z-Wave network.
Follow directions for the Z-Wave controller to complete the
process.
4. Upon successful addition to network the status light will turn o
and then flash green 4 times. If it was not successfully added to
the network, the status light will flash red 4 times.
Classic Inclusion To A Z-Wave Network
For older controllers Classic Inclusion is suppor ted. Depending on the
age of the controller it will need to be 3 to 35 feet from the device
when including.
1. To enter programming mode, hold the top of the paddle for
7 seconds. The status light will turn amber. Release and the
status light will blink.
2. Follow the Z-Wave controller instructions to enter inclusion mode.
3. Tap the top or the paddle of the paddle one time. The status light
will quickly flash green.
