connected to the home network through an Ethernet cable or wirelessly using Wi-Fi.

● Adding a TRF-ZW Z-Wave gateway gives the MX HomePro system access to control the

home’s Z-Wave devices such as locks, thermostats, lighting, cameras, and scenes.

● Programing is performed via the web page MX HomePro Editor portal. The smart home
professional must log into this web portal in order to program all applicable MX HomePro
devices. Further enhancements may be added, for all inquiries please contract URC

Technical Support.

● This remote communicates exclusively through Wi-Fi using the following signals b/g/n*
