What you'll need
  • Zigbee 4-button scenario switch
  • CR2430 battery (not included)
  • Device with Redwoods Connect app installed with a WiFi or LTE connection
  • Smart Gateway added to Family or Home and online

Install CR2430 battery

Flip the switch over and open the battery cover by sliding the rear gray cover to the left and lift it up to remove it.

Install the CR2430 battery and slide the cover back on. 

Confirm the battery is installed correctly by clicking one of the four buttons, you should see the light for that button light up green. 

If the button doesn't light up recheck that the battery is installed correctly as one side is negative and one side is positive.

Put switch in pairing mode

Hold in Button 1 (the one on the bottom left) and after 12 seconds all four button LED's will start blinking green. This means it's in pairing mode and is now ready to pair to the zigbee Gateway.

Add switch to app

In the Redwoods Connect App tap the Smart Gateway icon to open gateway settings then tap Add subdevice at the bottom of the screen.

In the sub-device list tap Scenario Switch. If there is no Scenario Switch in the list tap any device and it will find the proper one.

Confirm the green pairing indicator lights are still blinking on the switch (in pairing mode) and then tap the Confirm indicator rapidly blink button. 

Once it connects to the Smart Gateway you can rename the switch and optionally add it to a room.

Upon success you'll see it on the home screen and it will show as online.

Test the buttons and signal strength
