Wireless Miro Installation Guide
This guide shows you how to install, configure and use a
Wireless Miro system. It complements the installation
instructions supplied with each Miro product. Carefully
read all product instructions. This guide assumes a basic
knowledge of good wiring practices. All wiring must
comply with applicable electrical and safety codes. All
electrical installation work should be carried out by an
experienced electrician.
Wireless Miro is a powerful no-new-wires lighting control system. It uses the 900MHz RF
band to create a fast wireless control network in any home, board room, office or
restaurant, offering the functionality of wired systems that would cost far more. Wi r e l e s s
Miro is equally well suited to new construction and retrofit applications.
For more information on how to design a Wireless Miro system, see the Miro Specification
Guide.

Preparation
Before terminating Miro devices, locate the Miro
wall plate and sub-plate assembly.
The plastic plate on the back of the sub-plate
protects the wall in case the wall box is recessed.
If the wall box is a flanged knock-in box, remove
the plastic plate from the steel plate. This helps to
conceal the wall box and keeps the back of the
Miro faceplate flush with the wall.

Test for Load Function
After the hardware installation is complete and you
have applied power to the devices, observe the LED
on each Wireless Miro device. The LED should be
solid yellow. If it is any other color, see
Troubleshooting on page 5.
Tap the top of the Miro device paddle to turn the load
on. The LED flashes red for two seconds then
returns to solid yellow. If it continues to flash red,
read Load Troubleshooting, below. Tap the bottom
of the paddle to turn the load off. The LED flashes
red for two seconds then returns to solid yellow.
Load Troubleshooting
Miro dimmers, plug-in lamp modules and fan controls
include patented overload protection that avoids
damage to the Miro device in most cases of a load
side short-circuit or overload.* Fault conditions
display on the status LED, as follows:
The status LED is flashing red

Wireless Miro
System
Configuration
Houses, Groups and Rooms - Understanding Binding
Wireless Miro builds a fast bidirectional RF
control network and requires no special tools or
specialist knowledge to configure. Follow a few
simple procedures, and you’re done.
Read this page to understand Wireless Miro network
structure, then follow the step-by-step instructions to
get your system up and running.
To function as a system, Wireless Miro devices
have to be “bound” together into a simple
wireless network. This is very easy to do, but it
helps to understand how and why it works.
To learn how
to design a
Wireless
Miro system,
see the Miro
Specification
Guide
1
To prevent interference with
neighboring Wireless Miro
systems, Wireless Miro devices
must obtain a house ID that is
unique to this installation.
2
Wireless Miro devices may be
bound together in groups. Devices
bound in a group will all operate
when one device operates. For
example, two dimmers grouped
together both respond when either
dimmer is operated. A group
usually includes one or more
Multilocation Controllers with a
Dimmer or Plug-in Module.
3
Wireless Miro devices and groups
in a room may be bound together
with one or more room level scene
controllers to provide pushbutton
control of multiple recorded lighting
presets, or scenes.
4
Wireless Miro devices and groups
throughout the house may be
bound together with one or more
house level scene controllers to
provide one touch control of up to
10 whole house scenes.
System Size
Wireless Miro allows for a generous
system size. The maximum values are:
Rooms:
127 per house
Groups and/or devices: 1023 per house
IMPORTANT: To simplify the binding process, carry out binding in this sequence:

Tips:
Scene controllers and scene remotes cannot be included in groups.
Examples of Groups
This group provides dimming control from three
locations (but there’s no effective limit). All three
devices are grouped together.
Plug-in Lamp Modules often end up behind
furniture. Grouping with a wall-mounted Switch,
Dimmer or Multilocation Controller provides
accessible control. Any number of Lamp or
Appliance Modules may be grouped this way.
If the time limit expires,
all devices stop
flashing.
To finish the process,
simply go back to the

See also: Adding or Removing Wireless Miro Devices on page 8 and Advanced Operation, pages 9-10.
Setting up Room Scenes
With the touch of one button on a Room Scene
Controller, or Room Scene Remote, you can recall a
scene that adjusts all Wireless Miro devices to a level
appropriate to your occasion.
1
Go around the room and adjust light levels by
2
pressing – – or – – so that the room lighting
is at the level you want for the scene.
Use this procedure to set up your scenes. Room
binding must be complete before you can set up
room scenes.
Default Settings
Room and house scene
control devices are
shipped from the factory
with standard operations
pre-programmed. In
many cases, you will only
need to make a few
adjustments to fully
customize your
installation. See the
installation instructions
packaged with each
device for information
about defaults.
Press and hold one of the five
scene buttons on the Room
Scene Controller, or Room
Scene Remote for two seconds
– the LED blinks, indicating that
the scene is recorded.
Tips:
Setting Up Whole House Scenes
House scenes may include any or all Wireless Miro
devices in the house. They may be used to put the
house to sleep at night, wake it up in the morning, for
entertaining and even to emulate occupancy when
you are away (see page 12).
There are two parts to setting up a house scene. First,
bind the devices you want to include in the scene
1
(steps 1-3), then, set levels and record the scene
(steps 4-5). Once the binding is done, you can rerecord levels as often as you like, using steps 4-5.
Record your scenes in
order of brightness, with the
brightest at the top.
House ON and house OFF scenes that are
initiated by tapping the paddle always use 100%
and 0% levels respectively. You can modify
binding, but not levels, so when you finish step 3,
the paddle scene process is complete.
If you want a light to go out
in a scene (for example to
put the house to sleep), you
must bind it to the scene
and set it to OFF. See
Including “OFF” Devices in
Scenes on page 10.

Tip:
If there is a Room Scene Remote in the room, use it to initiate this procedure. The remote holds
a list of all the room devices for its SEEK function. Using the Remote to initiate the process
causes the Remote to automatically update its SEEK list. It takes about 20 seconds to update
the list and no other functions operate during this time. See page 16 for SEEK operation.
8 Installation Guide
If you don’t initiate using the Room Scene Remote, you must repeat steps 1 and 3 from it,
allowing about 20 seconds after step 3 for the SEEK list to update.
Including or Excluding a Device from a Room Scene
You can include or exclude a device from a room
scene, room ON or room OFF paddle function. You
may want to exclude a non-dimming device such as
a Plug-in Appliance Module or a Fan Control, whose
state should remain constant regardless of lighting
changes. You may want to include a Fan Control in
the room ON function.
Note that excluding a device from a scene is not
the same as removing a device from the room.
When a device is excluded from a room scene, as
shown here, it is still available in the other room
scenes, and may still be accessed using the Room
Scene Remote’s SEEK function.

Using More Scenes
Wireless Miro supports up to 15 scenes per room
and 10 house scenes. Devices are shipped from the
factory set up for scenes 1-5.
All scene buttons on controllers and remotes set for
the same range of scenes operate the scenes the
same way. If, for example, one Room Scene Remote
and two Room Scene Controllers are all set for
scenes 1-5, when you press the top scene button
from any of those devices, the bound devices will
react the same way.

When a scene controller or remote is set for a
different range of scenes, it controls only those
scenes. If you change the remote to scenes 6-10,
its scene buttons can be bound to an entirely
different set of devices with different light level
settings. The paddle functions, however, are
always bound to the same set of devices as all
other house or room scene controllers.

Advanced
Operation
(continued)
Including “OFF” Devices in House Scenes
Only devices specifically bound into house
scenes are included in those scenes. Let’s say
you have a house scene that lights a pathway
from the bedroom to the kitchen – you probably
wouldn’t want this to turn out the lights for
someone working late in another part of the
house. So you include in the house scene only
the lights that you need for the pathway.
On the other hand, you may want to have a house
scene that closes down the house for the night,
maybe leaving a little light on the landing. In this
case, you need to include into the house scene all
the devices that you want to be OFF, and set them
to OFF.
Setting a house scene where all devices are
included in a large house may take some time, but
you will be glad you did it every time you press that
one button that turns off all those lights just before
you retire.
Setting up and Using PANIC
PANIC is a security feature, designed to deter
intruders. You select certain Wireless Miro
devices around the home to be activated by the
PANIC button on the House Scene Remote.
They will normally be:
•
Switched lighting circuits – outside lights.
Selected Switches will latch ON when PANIC is
initiated.
•
You can also use a siren or bell, connected to a

Extending Radio Range with the Miro Wireless Repeater
The Wireless Repeater has two functions. It increases
the effective range of Wireless Miro devices and it
provides occupancy emulation. With occupancey
emulation, you can activate it when you leave home
so that lights operate automatically as if someone is
in the house. For more information about
occupancy emulation, see page 12,
Protecting your Home with an Occupancy
Emulation Scene.
some cases. A good way to check is at
initialization. When you first bind the house ID, start
with a device in one corner of the home. Walk
around the home to make sure that every device is
flashing its status LED yellow. If any devices are
not flashing yellow, they didn't get the binding
message. You may need to add a Repeater.
It may be necessary to use a repeater to
increase the range in a large home, in a
space with difficult radio reception
conditions, or where bronze cover
plates are being used.
Generally, the repeater is located in the center of
the building, measuring both vertically and
horizontally. The repeater is quite small, and
may often be conveniently located atop
a cupboard or cabinet.
When radio reception is an
issue, some Wireless Miro
devices do not respond to
commands. This may be intermittent in
The Repeater must be bound to the house for it to
work; see Adding a Device to the House, page 8.
You may use up to two Wireless Miro
Repeaters. For more information on
designing systems that require more
Repeaters, see the Miro Specification Guide, or
• If it flashes green or yellow,
you have unlocked the
room configuration.
• If the device still flashes
red, the configuration may
be locked by another room
level scene controller in the
house. Repeat the
procedure from different
controllers until the device
is no longer flashing red.

Operation

Protecting your Home with an Occupancy Emulation Scene
The Repeater monitors all Wireless Miro network
traffic, and records a seven-day 'loop' of network
events. When so required, it starts to 'play back'
the recorded loop, providing a highly realistic
emulation of real occupancy – a great security
feature when you're away from home.
There are two ways to start occupancy emulation:
•
Press the 'away' button on the face of the
Repeater
•
Include a Repeater (only one in multiple-Repeater
installations) in a house scene, as follows:
then
1
On a House Scene Controller press for
two seconds, then press a scene button.
We recommend using the bottom scene
button for house OFF, and the next one up
for occupancy emulation – it’s easy to
remember.
2
Go to the Repeater and press
(both buttons) for two seconds. The
LED flashes yellow, indicating that it
is included in the scene.
3
Return to the House Scene
Controller and press for two
seconds to complete.
Now, pressing the house scene
button starts occupancy emulation.
All lights flash once, then, after a
one minute delay, emulation begins.
Important: Only use one Repeater in
an occupancy emulation scene.
Canceling occupancy emulation is automatic.
When you return to the house and press any
button on any Wireless Miro device, the Repeater
senses it, cancels occupancy emulation mode,
and reverts to recording network traffic.
Auto-ON in Lamp and Appliance Modules
What happens when you try to turn ON a table
lamp from the lamp’s integral switch, if it is
plugged into a Miro Plug-in Lamp Module? You
might expect that you can’t turn the lamp on from
the lamp’s switch, if the Miro module turned it
OFF. But, Wireless Miro Plug-in Lamp and Plugin Appliance Modules are smart enough to
anticipate this problem. They sense the integral
lamp switch opening and closing and immediately
apply power to the load. We call this feature
‘auto-ON’.

Replacing Existing 3-way and 4-way Circuits
Wireless Miro provides an elegant way of
controlling a lighting circuit from multiple
locations.
This is how a conventional 3 or 4-way circuit
works – when any switch is thrown, the current
path through the circuit is opened or closed:
Typical 4-way switching
circuit - for 3-way, take
out the 4-way switch.
There are several variations on the actual wiring
layout, depending mainly on the physical location
of the lighting load.
THIS WORK SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY
A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Using Wireless Miro, the circuit is much simpler,
and may be installed using existing 3- and 4-way
wiring.
The wiring will look like this:
