Before moving on to Z-Wave set up, check that your dimmer works at 100% manually.
Once you verify that it works well locally, it's time to add the dimmer to SmartThings. The switch will work with the out of the box; however, we recommend installing the lua Edge driver first to provide access to all the advanced features of the device.
If you'd like to add the dimmer to your SmartThings app, follow the steps below:
- Tap the plus icon in the home screen
- Tap Device
- Tap "Scan nearby" (in the corner of the screen)
- While the app says "Scanning...", tap the UPPER paddle 3 times as quickly as possible (LED indicator will start flashing)
- The app will indicate when the device connects
- Tap Edit to rename the device, and tap Done to save the name
- Tap Done to complete the setup
Once the dimmer is included, perform network repair to optimize connectivity. This will help SmartThings find the best communication route to the switch. Here's how to do it.
If you're having issues including your dimmer to SmartThings, we'd recommend excluding it using these instructions and try including it again.
