Preface
For information on Z-Wave and ClareHome, see Installing Z-Wave with ClareHome.
Notes
- When installing Z-Wave devices, ensure that there is nothing inhibiting their signal. Z-Wave relies on radio signals. Metal or thick walls may limit their signal strength.
- We recommend having 2 or more repeating Z-Wave devices.
Introduction
The ClareVue Lighting Appliance (CL-APS-10) and Dimmer (CL-LDM-10) Modules integrate with ClareHome via the Z-Wave network. Installers only need to pair (add) the unit into ClareHome. The modules provides real time light status indications.
By integrating the ClareVue Lighting Appliance Module or ClareVue Lighting Dimmer Module into the ClareHome control system, your customers can control the associated devices from their Android or iOS devices.
