What It Does
Once you've "paired" this lighting module to your Mi Casa Verde system and its Smart Controller, you can turn lights that are plugged into it on or off, or dim them to a preferred level. You can do this from your computer, your smartphone or a tablet. Or, if you prefer, you can have the lighting module react automatically to a schedule that you set. You can also make this lighting module control the actions of other smart devices in your system, or be controlled by them.
There are two AC outlets on your lighting module. One of them is controllable through your Vera system, while the other is for unaffected "pass-through" electricity. Think of it as a convenience outlet that you wouldn't need to turn on and off, like that of a clock or an aquarium filter.
When you want to make a lamp or other device 'smart' and controllable, make sure you use the AC outlet that's been marked with the "Z-Wave" logo.
