INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the GE SmartHome™ Remote.  Your home control 
network can include up to 232 Z-Wave enabled devices.  This remote allows you 
to control up to 18 individual Z-Wave devices with one easy-to-use, compact unit.  
You can also set up and control up to 18 groups of lights as well as 18 scenes for 
task or mood lighting.  Each group can include up to 232 Z-Wave devices and 
each scene can include up to 32 Z-Wave devices.  Lights can be included in 
multiple groups.  Scenes can include lights from different groups.  

Please note: The terms “Device”, “Node” and “Light” all refer to an individual 
Z-Wave enabled device in your home control network and are interchangeable 
within the context of these instructions.

If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to create your 
control network.  You can use multiple remote controls with your Z-Wave lighting 
control network, however, only one remote will act as the primary controller.  The 
primary controller must be used to add or delete devices (lights / nodes) from your 
network.  All other remotes are considered secondary and can be used to create 
groups and/or scenes and control your lighting however secondary remotes 
cannot add or delete devices from your control network. 

NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with Z-Wave certified devices 
from other manufacturers and/or other applications. The different listening nodes within 
the network can act as repeaters regardless of vendor.

For best results, please read and perform all the remaining instructions before 
using the remote.  Keep this guide for future reference. 

INSTALLING BATTERIES
Three “AAA” Alkaline batteries (not included) are required.

6. When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to 
your home network.
7.  The device can now be added to Groups and/or Scenes.
NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key 
or the device has not been successfully added to your home network.  Please 
make sure the remote is within two feet of the device and try again.
ADDING A LIGHT (DEVICE / NODE) TO YOUR REMOTE
You can add a maximum of 18 lights to your remote so that they can be 
controlled individually.  Adding a device to your remote also adds it to your 
network.  If the device number you are trying to add is already associated with 
another device, the previous information is lost.

digit (1-9) if you are adding devices 10 through 18. (Green LED 
blinks rapidly)

5. Press the button on the device so that it sends its information to the remote 

and receives information from the remote.

6. When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to 

your remote control.

NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key or the 
device has not been successfully added to your remote.  Please make sure the remote is 
within two feet of the device and try again.

NOTES ON NETWORK MANAGEMENT:
Add a node, group or scene can also be referred to as include a node, group 
or scene. Remove a node, group or scene can also be referred to as Exclude a node, 
group or scene.
ADDING A DEVICE (NODE / LIGHT) TO THE NETWORK
