STANDARD OPERATION

The DRD6 is shipped with most functions preprogrammed for ease of installation 
and initial use. This section summarizes the default operation of the DRD6. 
To make changes from this standard operation, such as changing light levels 
and including or excluding devices from specific scenes, see CUSTOMIZING 
OPERATION.

Paddle Functions

Use the rocker paddle to begin and end binding functions. It also functions 
as an On/Off switch and a master light level Raise/Lower control for the room. 
All devices bound to the same room as the DRD6 are included in the paddle 
operation (except fan controls).

Scene Button Functions 

The smaller buttons, labeled A—E in the illustrations, are used to record 
and recall scenes. Labels are provided so that you can name these buttons 
to suit your application. All devices bound to the same room as the DRD6 are 
included in each scene button (except fan controls). 

The following illustration shows the default operation for scene set 1-5.

NOTES:

1

  Pressing and holding the paddle does not affect the operation of switched 

devices. They will maintain their present state.

2

  If the lights were turned off using the default E scene button or any 

customized scene button programmed for 0%/ALL OFF, pressing and holding 

 will not raise the light level. It will raise the light level if the lights were 

turned off by tapping   .

3

  Scene buttons on DRD6 controllers with scene set 6-10 or 11-15 are 

preprogrammed to turn off all room devices.

UNIT DESCRIPTION 

The Miro Decorator DRD6 Wireless Room Scene Controller is a room level 
scene controller. It provides instant recall of five user-recorded lighting scenes 
(or presets) assigned to a room or designated area. It also provides off and on 
functions and overall control of the room’s light level.

The DRD6 can be identified by the icon on its front, which resembles the 
outline of a door leading to a room.

The Miro Decorator wireless room scene controller works as part of a Miro 
Decorator wireless system. It can control a variety of Miro Decorator wireless 
devices including dimmers, switches, plug-in appliance modules and plug-in 
lamp modules.

You can control up to fifteen scenes in the room (see MORE SCENES section). 
You can install additional room scene controllers or MRH6G room scene remotes 
to control those scenes from multiple locations.

Note: To control the entire house, use a Miro Decorator wireless house scene 
controller (a wall mounted DRD5 or a handheld MRH5G remote).

Miro Wireless

Miro wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other 
to control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas. They 
use the 900MHz band for high-speed control communication. Using the patented 
“frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology, Miro wireless devices 
avoid interference with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and baby 
monitors.

Application Assistance

The 

Miro Installation Guide

 provides more information about configuring scenes. 

Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant Miro wireless 
devices. Application support information and the 

Miro Installation Guide

 are 

available on-line.

SET HOUSE ID

All Miro wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the same 
unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding. Each Miro 
wireless device is bound to all other Miro wireless devices in the house.

New Installation

1.  With all devices installed and energized, make sure that every Miro wireless 

device LED is yellow. If any LED is off, be sure the circuit breaker is on and the 
device is correctly installed. 

2. Press   on any device paddle until 

the LED fl ashes yellow (about 2 
seconds). This indicates that it has 
acquired a unique House ID.

3.  Make sure that all other Miro 

wireless device LEDs are fl ashing 
green, indicating that they have 
acquired the same House ID. 

4.  Return to the device used in step 2, which is still fl ashing yellow. Press 

 until 

the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs in the House 
change to solid green, indicating house binding is complete.

Adding an DRD6 to an Existing Installation

If you’re adding or replacing a DRD6 in a Miro wireless installation that is already 
operating, the new DRD6 must acquire the same House ID as the other Miro 
wireless devices in the house. After the new DRD6 is powered up, the LED should 
be solid yellow. This indicates that it has not yet acquired a House ID. To acquire 
the House ID for the existing system:

1. Press   on any previously bound device until the LED fl ashes yellow (about 2 

seconds). 

2.  Verify that the newly added DRD6 LED is fl ashing green, indicating that it has 

acquired the House ID. 

3.  Return to the same previously bound device used in step 1 and press 

 until 

the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs should now 
be solid green.

ROOM BINDING

After the House ID is set in the DRD6, you create a room by binding devices to 
the DRD6. You can also add the DRD6 to an existing room. When a new DRD6 is 
added to a room, its scene buttons execute the same scenes as other room scene 
controllers with the same scene set assignment (see MORE SCENES). Paddle 
functions are the same at every room scene controller that is bound to the same 
room, regardless of scene set assignment.

IMPORTANT:

 If you are planning to use Groups in the room, you should bind 

those devices together 

before

 beginning the room binding process. Group 

binding instructions are provided with individual devices.

Binding a New Room

1.  With all devices installed and energized, make sure that every Miro wireless 

device LED in the room is green. 

2. Press   on the DRD6 until its LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds). You now 

have 5 minutes to complete this process. 

3.   To include or exclude a device press 

 on the device until the LED changes 

color.  

Yellow

 flashing LED = Included in

 room

 

   

Green

 flashing LED = NOT included in

 room

 

If you get to a device and it is NOT flashing, see TROUBLESHOOTING.

4.   Return to the DRD6 used in step 2. Press 

 for about 2 seconds — the status 

LED stops flashing, then all the status LEDs in the house turn green.

Adding a DRD6 to an Existing Room

If you’re adding a DRD6 in a room where room level scene control is already 
operating, the new DRD6 must first acquire the House ID (see Adding a DRD6 to 
an Existing Installation). Then it must be bound to the existing room as follows:

1. Press   on any 

previously bound

 DRD6 room controller or MRH6G room 

remote in the room until the LED flashes yellow (about 2 seconds). 

2.  Verify that the new DRD6 LED is flashing green. All other devices included in 

the room are flashing yellow. Press 

 on the new DRD6 until its LED changes 

color.  

Yellow

 flashing LED = Included in

 room

 

   

Green

 flashing LED = NOT included in

 room

3.  Return to the 

same previously bound

 DRD6 used in step 1 and press 

 until 

the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs should be 
solid green.

When you see 

 

in the instructions, 
firmly press and 
hold both the top 
and bottom of 
the paddle until 
the LED changes 
(about 2 seconds).

When you 

 see  in 

the instructions, touch 
the top of the paddle 
as directed.

When you see 

 in 

the instructions, touch 
the bottom of the 
paddle as directed.

CAUTION

TURN THE POWER OFF AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER 

BEFORE INSTALLING THE DIMMER.

INSTALLATION

For ease of installation, manufacturer recommends use of a deep wall box. The 
device is equipped with flying leads to simplify installation, however, if desired, 
they may be removed by loosening the screw terminals. 

1.  Disconnect power to circuit by turning circuit breaker OFF before installation.

2.  Remove existing wall plate and switch. 

3.  Strip existing wires 1/2”. If two wires will be connected to the same terminal 

on a Miro device, both wires must be the same gauge (12AWG or 14AWG).

4.  Wire the LINE (black), NEUTRAL (white) and GND supply wires to the 

correspondingly marked screw terminals, according to the wiring diagram. 

5.  Attach the wall plate. 

6.  Switch the circuit breaker back ON.
