To add the Aeotec LED light bulb into a Z-Wave network:

  1. Install the LED bulb into a standard E27 socket.
  2. Turn on the LED bulb using the wall or lamp switch.
  3. Put the panel into Z-Wave Add mode. For panel-specific information about this process, see Panels.
  4. Turn off the LED bulb using the switch and immediately turn it back on.
  • If the LED bulb is triggered properly and added to the Z-Wave network, it will flash green for approximately three seconds and then turn solid white.
  • If the LED bulb is not triggered properly and is not added to the Z-Wave network, it will stay colored and not turn white. Please try triggering the bulb again.
  • If you are unable to add the bulb to your network, it may already have been added to another network. Follow the procedure for deleting the bulb from a Z-Wave network and try the Add procedure again. 

To delete the Aeotec LED light bulb from a Z-Wave Network:

  1. Verify that the light switch is in the On position.
  2. Put the panel into Z-Wave Delete mode. For panel-specific information about this process, see Panels.
  3. Flip the switch to turn the LED bulb off/on three times within 2 seconds (off, on, off, on, off, on).
  • If the LED bulb is triggered properly and deleted from the Z-Wave network, it will turn yellow/orange and then turn white.
  • If the LED bulb is not triggered properly and is not deleted from the Z-Wave network, it will stay solid. Please try triggering the bulb again.

To check if the LED bulb has already been added to a Z-Wave network:

  1. Verify that the light switch is in the On position.
  2. Flip the switch to turn the LED bulb off/on three times within 2 seconds (off, on, off, on, off, on).
  • If the LED bulb has already been added to a Z-Wave network and is still part of that network, it will flash orange, turn red, and then return to the same solid color it was before the test.
  • If the LED bulb is not currently in a Z-Wave network, it will flash blue for at least three seconds, turn solid orange, and then become white.

To put the LED bulb in color selection mode:

If the LED bulb is not currently in a Z-Wave network:
  1. Verify that the light switch is in the Off position.
  2. Flip the switch to the On position three times within 2 seconds (on, off, on, off, on). The bulb is now in color selection mode. It will turn solid white and then begin cycling through all of the available colors.
  3. Flip the switch to the Off position when the color you desire is displayed.
  4. You may now turn the LED bulb on and off for normal use with your selected color.
If the LED bulb is currently in a Z-Wave network:
  1. Verify that the light switch is in the Off position
  2. Flip the switch to On three times with 2 seconds (on, off, on, off, on). The bulb is now in color selection mode. It will cycle through all of the available colors.
  3. Flip the switch to the Off position when the color you desire is displayed.
