The wireless scene selector and dimmer offers users a versatile solution for controlling multiple lighting zones and executing preconfigured scenes through linked wireless load controllers. Functioning as both an on/off and raise/lower wall station, this battery-powered device eliminates the need for wiring, significantly reducing installation time and simplifying setup. In just a few seconds, the scene selector and dimmer can be linked to one or more wireless load controllers, including the SWX-970 Advanced Load Controller or the SWX-950 series wireless power packs. This flexibility allows it to serve as a central hub for scene activation and lighting adjustment across a variety of spaces.
Scenes provide a method to change lighting levels and operational settings for one or more load controllers simultaneously. Pressing a scene button sends a wireless signal to all linked load controllers to run the selected scene stored locally in each device. Users can create and save scenes directly via the four scene buttons by holding a button to store a desired light level, or they can use the SENSORWORX mobile app in conjunction with a SWX-970 Advanced Load Controller to configure more complex scenes across a zone. This combination of local and app-based programming offers maximum flexibility for setting up individual or group lighting scenarios.
The device pairs in seconds with compatible wireless load controllers and operates on a single CR123(A) Lithium battery, which is included. The battery provides a 10-year lifespan under default settings, and the unit features non-volatile memory to retain all settings even during battery replacement or power interruptions. When the battery reaches 10% capacity, the blue LED indicator flashes after each button press as a replacement warning. Replacement batteries are available from most retailers, home centers, or directly from SENSORWORX.
The wireless scene selector and dimmer supports a range of operational behaviors. It transmits wireless signals only when buttons are actively pressed, with the blue LED illuminating during input. The dim up and dim down buttons allow continuous adjustment, moving through 20 equal voltage steps from high trim to low trim, or in reverse when using the SWX-854-4S-B model. Scenes are saved by holding the scene activation button for ten seconds, or they can be saved and managed through the mobile app when paired with a SWX-970-D1 or D2 load controller.
Physically, the unit is compact, measuring 2.74 inches high by 1.68 inches wide by 1.39 inches deep, making it compatible with standard decorator-style wall plates (not included) and single gang switch boxes. It weighs 2.5 ounces and maintains a sleek aesthetic that matches other wireless sensors and wired wall stations. The enclosure supports standard indoor conditions with operating temperatures from 32°F to 122°F and relative humidity from 0-95% non-condensing. An optional -HE version extends the lower temperature range to -40°F/C.
Wireless communication occurs over the 915 MHz ISM band, with an 80-foot line-of-sight range or 40 feet through obstructions such as walls or floors. Wireless linking is accomplished through a simple three-second push-button process, and all data is encrypted for security. These scene selector and dimmer switches are fully compliant with ASHRAE 90.1, IECC, and Title 24 energy code requirements, making them suitable for a wide variety of commercial, educational, and open office applications where centralized scene control and flexible dimming options are desired.
