Technical data

Preparations

All ZHS15 (installation group) that are going to be a part of the home system should be installed 

(inserted into the sockets).  After powering for the first time ZHS15 is not associated with any 

ZigBee network. To start configuration of Smart Plug, it must be in SETUP operation mode. 

Join the new plug to the Gateway:

Use next steps:

1.   Now click on your smartphone or tablet (Schwaiger app) sequentially following menu items:
2.   „Home Installation” – „Add device” – „Find device”
3.   Hold down main button until LED indicator starts lighting blue (approx. 2-3 sec.)
4.   Make one short button press again to start joining to the network.
5.   During join routine, indication will blink red. After successively joining to the network, LED-

will blink green – no longer than 3 minutes. Long button press will terminate green blinking 

immediately.  

Note: Please note, that the distance between the devices and the gateway must bee about 0,5m 

during integrating.

Switching to SETUP mode

To enter the SETUP mode, hold down device button until LED indicator starts lighting blue 

(approx. 2-3 seconds). After release, LED will indicate blue continuously 5 more seconds and 

Smart Plug will be in SETUP mode. Smart Plug change state to NORMAL mode automatically upon 

5 seconds or when user set command successfully. 

Switching back to NORMAL mode:

Smart Plug changes its operation mode from SETUP mode to NORMAL mode automatically when 

user gives a button command or after the 5 seconds from entering the SETUP mode. Upon swit-

ching to NORMAL operation mode, LED will indicate active power (white if load is not connected 

or it power is approx 0W).

POWER LIMIT

ZHS15 has two overload protection limits. Current threshold is fixed and set to around 16A. Second 

limit is a user configurable power limit which can be set in range [10 - 3500W]. If either limit is excee-

ded for a period of approximately two seconds, the load will be disconnected and indication lights will 

blink in red to indicate overload. In case of overload, manual on/off and over-the-air on/off commands 

are disabled. Five consecutive short presses will reset power limit settings to 3500W and re-enable on/

off command.  Alternatively, to enable on/off command again without reseting user power limit, plug 

should be reinserted to the home socket. The power limit is 3500W/16A factory defined.

Set user power limit on the desire value

•  The outlet must be on with referent consumer.
•  Make five consecutive short presses.   After successfully inserted sequence, the power limit 

is changed to referent consumption (current consumption of a consumer) with some margin. 

LED indication: 3 x green blink. 

Reset user power limit

•  ZHS15 must be without a consumer and in NORMAL mode.
•  Make five consecutive short presses.  After successfully inserted sequence, the power limit is 

changed to maximum (3500W). LED indication: 3 x green blink. 

FACTORY RESET

Factory reset is used to delete all stored ZigBee network data, working mode setting etc. If de-

vice is not in SETUP operation mode, follow: Switching to SETUP mode section. Upon switching 

to SETUP operation mode (LED indication lights blue continuously) make 7x short consecutive 

presses and plug will be reset to the factory defaults.

NOTE: The power limit is approx. 3500W factory defined.
