Aeon Labs Micro Smart Energy Illuminator 
(In-Wall Z-Wave Dimmer Module w/ Energy Monitor) 
Introduction: 
The Aeon Labs Micro Smart Energy Illuminator is a low-cost 
Z-Wave dimmer module specifically used to enable Z-Wave 
command  and  control  (on/off/dim)  for  existing  in-wall 
switches.  It  can  also  report  immediate  wattage 
consumption or kWh energy usage over a period of time. 
The wireless module is powered from the mains supply and 
is a three-wire design which requires a neutral connection. 
In the event  of  power  failure, non-volatile memory retains 
all programmed information relating to the units operating 
status. 
It  also  is  a  repeater  in  the  Z-Wave  network.    Acting  as  a 
bridge for communication, it will forward Z-Wave command 
messages to their destinations if the originating controller is 
out of range from the destination node. 
By  taking  advantage  of  the  Z-Wave  mesh  network, 
commands  can  be  routed  to  their  destination  via 
intermediary  “listening”  Z-Wave  products.    Products  that 
are  Z-Wave  certified  can  be  used  and  communicate  with 
other Z-Wave certified devices. 
In-Wall Electrical Installation Instructions
: 
IMPORTANT:  A  licensed  electrician  with  knowledge  and 
understanding  of  electrical  systems  and  electrical  safety 
should  complete  the  electrical  installation inside  the  main 
circuit box (usually located outside of your house). 
IMPORTANT:
 The electricity to the circuit must be shut off 
during  installation  for  safety  and  to  ensure  that  wires  are 
not  shortcircuited  during  insallation  which  will  cause 
damage to the Micro Module. 
The Aeon Labs Micro Smart Energy Illuminator must first be 
powered by a 3-wire system in order to operate. The wiring 
diagram is as follows: 
Z-Wave Network Instructions: 
The  Aeon  Labs  Micro  Smart  Energy  Illuminator  must  be 
paired  (included)  into  a  Z-Wave  network  before  it  can 
receive  Z-Wave  commands  to  turn  on/off/dim  and  report 
its  energy  usage.    The  Smart  Energy  Illuminator  can  only 
communicate to devices within it’s own Z-Wave network. 
Note:  The  LED  on the  Micro  Smart  Energy  Illuminator  will 
blink if it is currently not paired into a Z-Wave network. 
•  Adding/Including/Pairing the Micro Smart Energy 
Illuminator into a Z-Wave Network 
1.  Press the button labeled “Include” on the Aeon Labs 
Minimote to begin the Z-Wave inclusion process. 
Note:  To include  the  Aeon  Labs  Micro  Smart  Energy 
Illuminator with other controllers, please consult  the 
operation  manual  for  these  controllers  on  how  to 
include  Z-Wave  products  into  an  existing  network. 
For  instructions  on  select  partner  gateways,  visit 
www.aeon-labs.com/support. 
2.  While the Micro Smart Energy Illuminator is powered 
in a 3-wire system, press the button located near the 
Status  Indication  LED.    Or  alternatively,  the  external 
switch/button control can be pressed 6 times in quick 
succession. 
Troubleshooting:  If  the  Aeon  Labs  Micro  Smart  Energy 
Illuminator  was  not successfully  included  into  any  Z-Wave 
network, the LED will be blinking slowly continually.   If  the 
Aeon Labs Micro Smart Energy Illuminator was successfully 
included to a Z-Wave network, the Status Indication LED will 
either be solid on or off (depending on if the switch is on or 
off) 10 seconds after the button was last pressed. 
•  Removing/Resetting the Micro Smart Energy 
Illuminator from your Z-Wave Network 
1.  Press the button labeled “Remove” on the Aeon Labs 
Minimote Stick to begin the Z-Wave removal process. 
Note:  To  include  the  Aeon  Labs  Micro  Smart  Energy 
Illuminator with other  controllers, please consult the 
operation  manual  for  these  controllers  on  how  to 
include  Z-Wave  products  into  an  existing  network.

2.  While the Micro Smart Energy Illuminator is powered 
in a 3-wire system, press the button located near the 
Status  Indication  LED.    Or  alternatively,  the  external 
switch/button control can be pressed 6 times in quick 
succession. 
Troubleshooting:  If  the  Aeon  Labs  Micro  Smart  Energy 
Illuminator  was  removed  from  the  Z-Wave  network,  the 
Status  Indication  LED  will  be  blinking.    If  the  Aeon  Labs 
Smart  Energy  Illuminator  was  not  successfully  removed 
from  the  Z-Wave  network,  the  Status  Indication  LED  will 
either be solid on or off (depending on if the switch is on or 
off) 10 seconds after the button was last pressed. 
•  Turning On/Off/Dim the Micro Smart Energy 
Illuminator 
Use  any  of  the  below  methods  to  turn  on/off  or  dim  the 
power through the Micro Smart Energy Illuminator. 
o  Pressing  the  button  on  the  external  (Wall) 
switch will be able to toggle power flow (on/off) 
through  the  Smart  Energy  Illuminator  (2-state 
flip/flop  switch).    If  the  mode  of  the  micro 
module  is  set  to  momentary  push  button, 
holding the push button will dim the lights and a 
short press will toggle the lights between on/off.
