Setup Instructions | Red Series Dimmer Switch - SmartThings

IMPORTANT: If you are here because you want to associate your switch directly to your bulb via Z-Wave, please follow the instructions to pair this switch non-securely (also make sure your bulb is paired non-securely).

While we try to keep this article up to date, it’s often hard due to the many updates of both our firmware and SmartThings firmware. If any updates/edits need to be made to this article, please comment on this thread: https://community.inovelli.com/t/wiki-general-feedback-suggestions-thread/7399

Inclusion / Pairing Instructions

On SmartThings, there are a couple of ways you can pair your smart switch. In this example, the two ways are called, “Non-Secure” (ie: no security) or S2. The default method is S2.

NOTE: If you would like to take advantage of, “Smart Bulb Mode” via Z-Wave Associations, you will need to pair without security (ie: non-secure) as our bulbs do not support S2 and Associations need to be on the same security level.

Non-Secure Inclusion Method

Use this method if you want your smart switch to be directly associated (via Z-Wave) with your Inovelli smart bulb or if you prefer to include without security (sometimes your network can be faster without security).
