ADAPTER PLUG

Installation and User's Guide

FOREWORD

The SwiidPlug™ is designed to switch on and off remotely appliances (mainly
lights) which are plugged into its female socket, The SwiidPlug™ is suitable for
the wireless switching of incandescent light bulbs as well as halogen and LED
lights (all transformer types).

The SwiidPlug™ can be operated manually by pressing on its FUNCTION button
which then acts as an on/off toggle switch and can be operated remotely and
wirelessly by Z -Wave®.

The SwiidPlug™ can also handle associations with other devices, both ways to
and from it. Thus, your SwiidPlug™ can respond directly to a signal from another
Z-Wave® device in your network, such as the triggering of a presence detector.

As soon as it has been plugged into a mains socket, the SwiidPlug™ can be
included into a Z-Wave® network so as to interoperate with controllers and other
Z-Wave® devices.

WARNING

Insert SwiidPlug™ only in sockets equipped with a
ground wire

RISK OF ELECTROCUTION : Do not attempt to clean

when plugged in

INCLUSION OF A SWiiDPLUG™ INTO A Z-WAVE®
NETWORK

In order to control your SwiidPlug™ remotely, it needs to be recognized by a Z­Wave® network. Many people are put off by the very use of the word "network",
but it may in fact designate a single remote control or wireless control switch
coupled with a single adapter plug. The important thing to remember is that your
SwiidPlug™ needs to be recognized by any device by which you intend to control
it (you can't call your dog, if you don't know its name). To do this, an inclusion
operation needs to be performed: this is also often called an integration or a
pairing operation.

When you first plug your SwiidPlug™ into the active mains, the LED will blink
alternatively blue and yellow to indicate that it has not yet been included into a
Z-Wave® network. In case the LED lights up solid blue or solid yellow, this
means your SwiidPlug™ may have been included into another Z-Wave® network
and you will need to run an exclusion process (see next Chapter) before including
it into your own Z-Wave® network.

In order to include a SwiidPlug™ into a Z-Wave® network, you do not need to use
any tools. Simply bring your SwiidPlug™ (always plugged into the mains) close
to the Z-Wave® controller (or vice versa) and proceed as follows:

1. First put your primary Z-Wave® controller in
inclusion mode (generally done by pressing
once or several times on an inclusion
button on the controller : here an Aeotech
Z-Stick2)

2. With the LED flashing alternatively blue
and yellow, press the FUNCTION button of
your SwiidPlug™ 3 times (3x) within 2

seconds.

3. The inclusion process should then start automatically and the LED on your

SwiidPlug™ will remain lit solid blue or solid yellow based on switch status.
This indicates that the Z-Wave® inclusion process was successful.

Depending on the type of controller you are using, you may be immediately able
to operate your SwiidPlug™ via your Z-Wave® network. For some controllers,
however, you need to perform an additional pairing step in order to assign your
SwiidPlug™ to a specific command button on the controller (e.g. on a multi-button
remote control).

Once you are able to operate your SwiidPlug™ remotely from your Z-Wave®
network, you are able to check that the blue LED lights up to illuminate the

FUNCTION button when it is turned "On" (yellow when "Off"). You can also check

that your SwiidPlug™ continues to respond to a manual press locally on the

FUNCTION button.

WARNING : As with any Z-Wave® "binary switch" device, the SwiidPlug™ is
not able - for patent reasons - to report back its status changes
automatically to a Z -Wave® controller. The best way to monitor the change
in status of your SwiidPlug™ in real-time is to use the "association"
procedure to associate it with your primary controller. This works both
when the change in status of your SwiidPlug™ is the result of a manual
action and when it is linked to a command communicated through the Z­Wave® network. FOR CERTAIN Z-WAVE

®

CONTROLLERS, THIS ASSOCIATION

IS PRE-PROGRAMED TO BE IMPLEMENTED ON ITS OWN WHEN YOUR

SWIIDPLUG™ IS FIRST INCLUDED INTO THE NETWORK.

EXCLUSION OF A SWiiDPLUG™

To exclude your SwiidPlug™ from a Z-Wave® network, proceed in the same way
as for the inclusion process described in the previous Chapter, except that in
Step 1, you must press the exclusion button on the Z-Wave® controller that you
will have brought into the vicinity of your SwiidPlug™ (or vice versa). The LED
beneath the translucent FUNCTION button of your SwiidPlug™ will blink
alternatively blue and yellow to indicate that the exclusion process has been
successfully completed.

ASSOCIATIONS FOR A SWiiDPLUG™

In a Z-Wave® network, association procedures enable your SwiidPlug™ to control
directly other Z-Wave® devices (real or virtual) or vice versa to be controlled by
other Z-Wave® devices without passing through a controller. A typical example
would be the association of a SwiidPlug™ with a Z-Wave® presence detector, so
that your SwiidPlug™ switches "On" when a presence is detected.

Associations are obviously only possible between devices which are part of the
same Z-Wave® network, i.e. devices which have been included using - directly or

indirectly - the same primary controller.

Associations are unidirectional (one-way) from a first node (the “primary” node”)

which issues a message to the second node (the “secondary” node) which

receives the message and executes a corresponding pre-agreed action. It is
possible to have bi-directional (reciprocal) associations, but in order to achieve
this, it is necessary to create two separate associations : one from A to B and a
second one from B to A.

A primary node can be associated with more than one secondary nodes, the
maximum number of which depends on the characteristics of the primary node
device. This is known as a "group" association. Alternatively, a secondary node
can receive and execute commands from any number of primary nodes with
which it has been associated.

Your SwiidPlug™ is capable of handling only one single association group as
a primary node which enables it to send commands to associated devices
whenever it is switched from on to off or vice versa. Your SwiidPlug™ can
command up to 5 normal Z-Wave® associated devices.

The process for associating your SwiidPlug™ as a primary node with other Z­Wave® devices can ONLY be made via a Z-Wave® controller: please revert to and
follow the association instructions set out by the controller's manufacturer.

WARNING: Sending relevant association information between devices may
take some time, in certain cases even a full minute.

RESETTING A SWiiDPLUG™

To reset your SwiidPlug™ to its factory settings (erasing the Home ID of the
network's primary controller), , unplug it from the active mains, press and hold
the FUNCTION button of your SwiidPlug™ and then, while continuing to press the

FUNCTION button, plug it back into the active mains. After about five (5)

seconds, the LED will blink alternatively blue and yellow indicating that your
Swiid® adapter plug has been fully reset.

WHAT IS Z-WAVE®?

Z-Wave® is a bidirectional communication protocol designed specifically for
controlling, operating, measuring and monitoring home automation equipment via
radio frequency: lighting, heating/AC, security, home entertainment, etc.

The Z-Wave® protocol utilizes an optimized radio technology for narrow bandwidth
radio communications (9-100 kbps). In Europe, Z-Wave® devices operate in the

868.4 MHz band, which ensures the absence of any interference with the WiFi
connections or with other wireless receivers operating in 2.4 GHz such as
Bluetooth or ZigBee®. Please note: For legal reasons, the Z-Wave® devices
function in different frequencies - all below 1GHz - in other parts of the world, e.g.
909 MHz in the US. Therefore, the Z-Wave® devices from these other geographic
zones can generally not be used in Europe.

The range of the Z-Wave® signal is approximately 50m (higher outdoors and lower
indoors). However, the Z-Wave® technology automatically and dynamically
creates a "mesh network" between the various Z -Wave® devices that compose
it and each of these devices becomes itself a repeater. This increases the reach
and reliability of radio signals being transmitted in the Z-Wave® network and
enables connections between devices that are not within direct range of each
other.

Each Z-Wave® network has its own identifier (Home ID), which enables multiple
Z-Wave® networks in a single location to operate completely independently and
without interfering with each other.

The main advantage of the Z-Wave® radio protocols over mesh network
competitors such as ZigBee® is the complete interoperability between the
various Z-Wave® devices from different manufacturers. This interoperability is
guaranteed by a "Zertification" process which is performed by companies
approved by Sigma Designs, which itself is the creator and owner of the Z-Wave®,
and by the Z-Wave Alliance, which was created in 2005 to bring together all the
stakeholders in the Z-Wave® ecosystem.

The Z-Wave Alliance has to date (September 2014) more than 250 members and
more 1200 products have been "Zertified". It is estimated that, as of end 2012,
more than 12 million devices using the Z-Wave® technology had been sold
worldwide.

Z-Wave® devices can be used either independently in a decentralized way (e.g.
a wireless switch or associated with a single remote controlled plug) or in
centralized manner using a central controller or integrated IP gateway. Integrated
IP gateways allow access by/to your Z-Wave® network to/from the outside world:
both the internet (and off course your smartphone via the internet...) and your
local area network. The main integrated Z-Wave® IP gateways available in
Europe today (July 2014) are : Vera's range of IP gateways : Vera2, Vera3 and
Vera Lite ; HomeSeer's Hometroller Zee (with an Aeotech Z-Stick2) ; Connected
Object's eedomus ; Fibaro's Home Center 2 and Home Center Lite ; Zipato's
Zipabox ; ZODIANET's Zibase ; and Z- Wave>Me's Z-Box. Your SwiidPlug™
adapter plug has been successfully tested with each of these integrated IP
gateways, as well as with most remote controls available in Europe.
