Setup Instructions Overview
This is the digital manual for the Aux / Add-On Non-Smart Switch.
Navigating the Instructions
Please click on any of the sections in the Table of Contents to get started. We recommend working your way down as it follows an intentional flow that is user friendly and hub/gateway specific. As always, any questions, please see the Additional Resources links section or submit a ticket, we’re happy to help.
Quick Setup & Inclusion
Once you have your switches (smart and aux) wired properly, please follow the quick tap instructions to setup your Inovelli smart switch to properly acknowledge this switch. In other words, you will program a separately purchased smart switch to allow this aux switch to mimic its behavior (ie: on/off, dimming, etc).
We recommend programming the switch via your hub's user interface and instructions can be found in the, "Hub Programming" column (click on the hub you have). However, if there is no hub available, then please see the, "Manual Programming" column.
If you do not see your switch listed, then it does not support working with an aux switch or it does not require programming (ie: Red/Black Series On/Off Switches)

Getting to Know Your Switch
Please refer to the above diagram to get to know your switch.
A. Light On / Increase Dim % Level: Tap 1x to turn on your light or hold to increase the brightness level (dim percentage). In addition, it can be used to activate scene control (multi-taps and holds) on certain Blue & Red Series switches*.
B. Light Off / Decrease Dim % Level: Tap 1x to turn off your light or hold to decrease the brightness level (dim percentage). In addition, it can be used to activate scene control (multi-taps and holds) on certain Blue & Red Series switches*.
C. Config / Favorites Button: This button can be used to activate scene control (multi-taps and holds) on certain Blue or Red Series switches*.
D. Air Gap: This is for cosmetic purposes only (to match the aesthetics of our Red and Blue Series switches) and is non functional.
* Hub must support these features.
Wiring Your Switch
Do not attempt to install these switches if you are unfamiliar with electrical as serious injury can occur.
Safety Reminder
Consult a qualified electrician if necessary as we are unable to give wiring advice outside of schematics .
If you are unsure how electrical circuits work, please do not try installing this device. As exciting as it is to have a smart switch installed, it can be dangerous and even life-threatening if you do not install it correctly. Improper installation will void the product’s warranty.
Please read through the warnings below before installing your switch. We can’t stress enough how dangerous installation can be if you don’t know what you’re doing.

Caution - Please Read: This device (AUX01) is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. If you are unsure or uncomfortable about performing this installation consult a qualified electrician. This product is made for indoor use only and is not designed or approved for use on power lines other than 120VAC, 60Hz, single phase. Attempting to use this AUX01 on non-approved power lines may have hazardous consequences.
Attention – Information importante: Cet appareil (AUX01) est conçu pour être installé conformément au « National Electric Code » et aux réglementations locales aux États-Unis, ou au Code canadien de l’électricité et aux réglementations locales canadiennes. Si vous ne vous sentez pas à l’aise ou qualifiés pour effectuer cette installation, veuillez consultez un électricien qualifié. Ce produit est conçu pour une utilisation intérieure uniquement et n’est pas conçu ou approuvé pour une utilisation avec une ligne électrique ayant un voltage autre que 120 VCA, 60 Hz, monophasé. L’utilisation du LZW30 avec une ligne électrique non approuvée peut avoir des résultats dangereux.
Other Warnings: Risk of Fire, Electrical Shock & Burns
Autres avertissements: Risque d’incendie, de choc électrique et de brûlures
Recommended Installation Practices: Use only indoors or in an outdoor rated box. Turn off the circuit breaker. Installing this switch and module with the power on will expose you to dangerous voltages. Connect only copper or copper-clad wire to the switch or module.
To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture or a transformer supplied appliance and do not use the LZW30 load output to control no more than indicated, which is: 600 Watts (Incandescent), 300 Watts (LED), and 150 Watts (CFL).
To install your On/Off Switch (AUX01), you’ll need to identify the following four wires:
Line: Usually black and can also be called the, “hot” or “live” and carries 120VAC electricity into the electrical box
Neutral*: Usually white and is commonly daisy chained from box to box, usually appearing as a white wire bundle.
Load: Usually black, blue or red
Ground: Bare copper wire or metal fixture (if grounded)
* Neutral is mandatory. See the compatibility chart below.
If you are having difficulties identifying wires, please consult an electrician.
Pratiques d’installation recommandées: Utiliser uniquement à l’intérieur ou à l’extérieur dans une boîte adaptée aux conditions extérieures. Éteignez le disjoncteur. L’installation de cet interrupteur et de ce module alors que le courant est allumé vous exposera à des tensions dangereuses. Connectez uniquement un fil de cuivre ou gainé de cuivre au commutateur ou au module.
Pour réduire le risque de surchauffe et d’endommager d’autres équipements, il est important de connecter des lumières incandescentes ayant moins de 400 watts, des lumières DEL ayant moins de 300 watts, des ampoules fluocompactes ayant moins de 150 watts ou un ventilateur utilisant moins de 1 ampère et ce dernier avec l’interrupteur en mode marche/arrêt uniquement.
La gradation d’une charge inductive, comme un ventilateur ou un transformateur, pourrait endommager le gradateur, l’interrupteur ou les deux appareils. Veuillez régler l’interrupteur en mode marche/arrêt si vous utilisez un ventilateur.
Pour installer votre variateur (LZW30), vous devrez identifier les quatre fils suivants (REMARQUE : le neutre n'est pas obligatoire, mais recommandé) :
Ligne: généralement noire et peut également être appelée « chaud » ou « sous tension » et transporte l’électricité 120 VCA dans le boîtier électrique
Neutre: habituellement blanc et connecté en série d’une boîte à l’autre, les fils sont habituellement attachés ensemble dans la boîte électrique
Charge: habituellement noire, bleue ou rouge
Mise à terre: fil de cuivre nu ou boîtier métallique (si celui-ci est mis à la terre)Si vous rencontrez des difficultés à identifier les fils, veuillez consulter un électricien.
Équipement médical: Veuillez ne pas utiliser cet interrupteur pour contrôler de l’équipement médical ou nécessaire à la survie. Les appareils Zigbee ne doivent jamais être utilisés pour contrôler la marche or l’arrêt d’équipement médical et/ou nécessaires à la survie.

Project Golden Rule
In 2019, we launched our 2nd Generation of smart switches which gave them the ability to work with either a dumb switch or an add-on (aux) switch in a multi-switch setting.
The dilemma became that we did not have an add-on (aux) switch and had to direct customers to our competition. With the help of 1000’s of community members, we’ve finally brought this aux switch to life.
The, “Golden Rule” means to treat others as you want to be treated and similarly, this aux switch mimics the smart switch it’s wired to, hence where the project got its name.
