This version of the device is limited to firmware versions below 255.0 The device is in the category of *Wall Switch*, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch. ![RF9640 product image](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1098/image/) The RF9640 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network. ## Overview **OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS** * Press once to turn lights ON at previously selected level. * Press again to turn lights OFF. * When lights are OFF, press and hold for 2 seconds for full brightness. * When lights are ON, press and hold for 2 seconds until the blue LED blinks. After the preset delay, the lights will begin fading to OFF (up to 4 minutes). * Amber ON/OFF LED indicates that dimmer is turned on ### Inclusion Information 1. This product may be added to a new or existing Z-Wave network. A Cooper Wiring Devices Z-Wave device has a blue LED, which will blink when the device is not included in a Z-Wave network.

Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The RF9640 supports 3 association groups. ### Group 1: Lifeline The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation. Association group 1 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 2: Set On/Off Association group 2 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 3: Dim Up/Down Association group 3 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V3| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTIVATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTUATOR_CONF_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_PROTECTION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_NODE_NAMING_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_FIRMWARE_UPDATE_MD_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SECURITY_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [Spec Sheet](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1098/reference/z-wave-smart-universal-dimmer-spec-sheet.pdf) * [Original XML file](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1098/reference/network-deff3f1d--node-28.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
