Simply Automated US2-V04 Anywhere 4-Rocker Virtual Switch — Specifications

Specification sheet for the Simply Automated US2-V04 Anywhere 4-Rocker Virtual Switch — a professional-grade powerline remote lighting control switch that replaces an existing mechanical wall switch (no new wires or travelers required).

Overview

The US2-V04 Anywhere 4-Rocker Switch is a starting point for virtual lighting control, letting you turn lights on/off anywhere in the home over existing wiring — no new wires, travelers, or batteries required. It uses Simply Automated's powerline communication technology, transmitting over 1 mile on a 14-gauge wire circuit with no RF emissions.

Rocker Layout

• Top-left rocker: Turns on/off the local lighting circuit (Channel #2 wiring) — also controls remote Anywhere switches/modules set on channel 2.
• Bottom-left rocker: Turns on/off remote Anywhere switches and modules set on channel 1.
• Top-right / bottom-right rockers: Turn on/off remote switches and modules set on channels 3 and 4, respectively.
• Blue-green status LED shows the local load's on/off status.

Key Features

• 900W maximum output, 1W minimum (LED-compatible)
• Controls incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, LED, magnetic, and electronic low-voltage lighting transformers & ballasts
• Built-in thermal overload protection with automatic reset after cooling
• Replaces an existing mechanical switch using the same wires (white neutral wire connection required)
• Up to 4 separate virtual control zones (channels) per home
• Faceplate is removable/replaceable — swap the 4-rocker (ZS24) faceplate for a 2- or 3-rocker (ZS22/ZS23) faceplate
• Optional rocker color-change kits: gloss white, almond, light almond, ivory, black, or brown

Expansion

Combine with Anywhere 3-Way Switch Kits (V3WAY) for 4-way virtual lighting control, or pair with the Anywhere 1-Rocker Switch (US1-V0), Plug-In Appliance Relay Module (UMA-V0), Wire-In Fixture Relay Module (UFR-V0), or Controlled Receptacle (URD-V0) for whole-home virtual lighting and appliance control.

Circuit Requirements

• Hot and neutral (black and white wire) power connections are required at switch locations.
• Controls 120VAC/60Hz motors up to 7.5A max. Ballasts for 120VAC metal-halide or mercury/sodium fixtures may need isolation (see model ZNF10A).
• Up to 4 separate virtual control zones can be used in a home via the 4 available communication channels. Optionally use the Scheduler-Timer (model UCS) to add a secondary receive channel for "All On/Off."
• Install switches and devices on the same circuit (breaker) for maximum communication distance; if on different circuits, keep them on the same phase.
• For homes with more than 1 breaker panel or over 2500 sq. ft. using both phase A and B circuits, a phase coupler (model ZPCI) is recommended.
• Not intended for 3-phase (commercial/condo) applications unless switches are on the same breaker or phase.
• The Anywhere Series is not compatible with Simply Automated's PC-Configured, Pre-Configured, Simply Smart™, or other UPB/UPStart configured products.
