Please use this document as a resource to understand the various parameters on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module. We try to keep this up-to-date, but as we constantly change our firmware, there may be a mistake. Please reach out if you see anything that needs to be corrected.

Please see the table below for a quick reference guide to the parameters on the Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module (VZM36). The table is meant to provide a high level view of all the parameters. For a full explanation of each parameter, please click on the hyperlink in each cell to be taken down the page to the appropriate section.

Below we'll list out the parameter number, description, range, default value, size, firmware version it was implemented and an example of how to use it.

AC Power Type is a read only parameter that shows whether or not the switch is in neutral or non-neutral mode.

Switch Mode refers to the canopy being in either On/Off or Dimmer mode (for the light portion) and Exhaust or Ceiling Fan (for the fan portion).

Leading/Trailing Edge refers to the way your canopy handles the lights it's controlling. You can switch between each one to get the best compatibility with your fan's bulbs.

To see whether or not your Blue Series Canopy Module is in neutral or non-neutral mode, please look for Parameter 21 in your hubs user interface (NOTE: This is a read only parameter that cannot be changed, so it may not show up on some hub user interfaces such as SmartThings).

To change your Blue Series Canopy Module's Light Portion from On/Off to Dimmer or Dimmer to On/Off, please select Parameter 258 and adjust accordingly with 0 being Dimmer and 1 being On/Off which is also the default setting.

To switch between Leading and Trailing Edge on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module, look for Parameter 26 and adjust accordingly. Leading Edge has a value of 0 and is the default value, whereas Trailing Edge has a value of 1. Please note that Trailing Edge is only available on neutral single-pole and neutral multi-way with an aux/add-on switch (multi-way with a dumb/existing switch and non-neutral setups are not supported and will default back to Leading Edge). This feature is available on firmware version x.xx+.

Dimming speed refers to how fast or slow the light turns on when you change the dim level either remotely or locally (at the switch) such as from 10-20%, 60-80%, etc.

Ramp rate (Light) refers to how fast or slow the light turns on when you either remotely or locally (at the switch) bring the switch from off to on (or on to off).

Fan speed refers to how fast or slow the fan turns on when you change the speed level either remotely or locally (at the switch) such as from low to medium, high to low, etc.

Ramp rate (Fan) refers to how fast or slow the fan turns on when you either remotely or locally (at the switch) bring the switch from off to on (or on to off).

To change the remote dimming speed for dimming up on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module, you would select Parameter 1 within your hub and then input a range of 0-126, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being 2.5 seconds.

To change the dimming speed at the switch (locally) for dimming up on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module, you would select Parameter 2 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 1.

To change the remote dimming speed for dimming down on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module, you would select Parameter 5 within your hub and then input a range of 0-126, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 1.

To change the dimming speed at the switch (locally) for dimming down on your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module, you would select Parameter 6 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 2.

To change the remote ramp rate for how fast your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module goes from off to on, you would select Parameter 3 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 1.

To change the remote ramp rate for how fast your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module goes from off to on, you would select Parameter 4 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 3.

To change the remote ramp rate for how fast your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module goes from on to off, you would select Parameter 7 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 3.

To change the remote ramp rate for how fast your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module goes from on to off, you would select Parameter 8 within your hub and then input a range of 0-127, with each interval equating to 100 milliseconds and the default being that the switch will default to whatever is selected in Parameter 4.

Minimum Dim Level refers to the minimum level the light switch will dim to.

Maximum Dim Level refers to the maximum level the light switch will dim to.

Invert Switch refers to inverting the switch (where tapping up on the switch will turn the switch off and tapping down on the switch will turn the switch on)

Auto-Off Timer refers to the switch being turned off after a certain amount of time (in seconds).

To change the minimum dim level for how low your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module dims to, you would select Parameter 9 within your hub and then input a range of 1-253, where the lower the numeric value equals the lower the minimum dim level (1 = ~1%) and the higher the numeric value equals the higher the minimum dim level (253 = ~99%) with the default being that the switch will be at 1%.

This is typically used for fixing flickering bulbs or calibrating the bulb if it shuts off prior to 1%.

To change the maximum dim level for how low your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module dims to, you would select Parameter 10 within your hub and then input a range of 2-254, where the lower the numeric value equals the lower the maximum dim level (2 = ~2%) and the higher the numeric value equals the higher the maximum dim level (254 = ~100%) with the default being that the switch will be at 100%.

This is typically used for calibrating the bulb if reaches the maximum level before 100%.

To set an auto-off timer where you can have your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module turn off after a certain amount of seconds, you would select Parameter 12 within your hub and then input a range of 0-32767, where each interval is a second.

Default Level - Local refers to the default dim level the switch goes to when turned on at the switch (ie: if you set the default level to 60%, that's the percentage the switch turns on to when you turn it on).

Default Level - Remote refers to the default dim level the switch goes to when turned on remotely via the app (ie: if you set the default level to 60%, that's the percentage the switch turns on to when you turn it on).

Level After Power Restored refers to the level the switch will return to when power is restored to it (ie: after a power outage).

LED Indicator Timeout changes the amount of time (in seconds) the RGB Bar shows the Dim Level (ie: if you are actively dimming the light, the LED Bar will show you approximately what level the light is at -- the timeout is the time that indicator shows once you let go of the paddle)

To set the default level your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module turns on to when you manually press the switch, you would select Parameter 13 within your hub and then input a range of 0-255, where zero (0) equals off, 255 equals the last level the switch was set at, the lower the numeric value equals a lower dim level (1 = ~1%) and the higher the numeric value equals a higher dim level (254 = ~100%) with the default being that the switch will return to the prior state it was in.

To set the default level your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module turns on to when you turn on your switch remotely (via an app), you would select Parameter 14 within your hub and then input a range of 0-255, where zero (0) equals off, 255 equals the last level the switch was set at, the lower the numeric value equals a lower dim level (1 = ~1%) and the higher the numeric value equals a higher dim level (254 = ~100%) with the default being that the switch will return to the prior state it was in.

To set the behavior that your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module enacts after a power outage, you would select Parameter 15 within your hub and then input a range of 0-255, where zero (0) equals off, 255 equals the last level the switch was set at, the lower the numeric value equals a lower dim level (1 = ~1%) and the higher the numeric value equals a higher dim level (254 = ~100%) with the default being that the switch will return to the prior state it was in.

Internal Temperature Monitoring is a feature that monitors the internal temperature of your switch and will work in conjunction with the Overheat Protection parameter to shut off your switch if it becomes too hot.

Overheat Protection shuts off your switch once the threshold of 90°C (194°F) is met and will return to normal once the switch reaches 70°C (158°F).

Remote Protection refers to whether or not the load of the switch can be controlled remotely. You can set it so the switch is locked from turning on and off from your hub's app.

Firmware Progress LED refers to the animation that runs during a firmware update. You can choose to keep this animation on or turn it off.

Binding Default Level allows you to match the default level parameter (Parameter 13 & 14) when using Zigbee Bindings.

Your switch has a built in temperature sensor on its Zigbee chipset that will monitor the internal temperature of the Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module. This will work in conjunction with Parameter 33 (Overheat Protection) in that it will shut off the switch if the internal temperature reaches 90°C (194°F) and will return to normal once the switch reaches 70°C (158°F). This is a read only parameter so there is no default.

Your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module has built a in overheating protection feature that will shut off the switch if it becomes too hot. When Parameter 32 (Internal Temperature Monitoring) exceeds 90°C (194°F), the Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module will shut the load off, change to On/Off + Full Sine Mode, disable all functionality (you will not be able to control the switch as all buttons will be disabled) and the LED Bar will slow blink red. This notification cannot be cleared until the switch cools down to 70°C (158°F) at which point the notification can be cleared. This is a read only parameter so there is no default.

If your Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module is bound to a Zigbee smart switch or bulb and you'd like to set a default level when turned on, change Parameter 125 to 1 (and also set the default level parameters - 13 & 14). By default this parameter is set to 0, which disables this feature.

To disable button presses of the Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module remotely (ie: via an app/web UX), turn Parameter 257 to 1. By default this parameter is set to 0, which disables this feature. Please note that this is different than Smart Bulb Mode (Parameter 52), which still allows commands to be sent when the switch is pressed locally.

During each firmware update, the Blue Series Fan/Light Canopy Module has an animation where the LED Bar will light up to the level the firmware update is at (ie: if the LED Bar is halfway up the switch, the firmware update is 50% completed). If you'd like to disable the Firmware Update LED Animation, please change Parameter 260 to 0. By default this feature is set to 1, which enables the animation.
