Simply Automated V3WAY-B — Anywhere 3-Way Switch Kit Specifications

Specifications and installation reference for the Simply Automated V3WAY-B Anywhere 3-Way Switch Kit — a 2-rocker virtual 3-way lighting control kit that uses existing wiring and UPB-style powerline communication (no travelers, no batteries).

Overview

The V3WAY-B Anywhere 3-Way Switch Kit lets you turn lights (or other loads) on and off from anywhere in the home — front entry, rear patio, hallway, garage, master bedroom, attic, basement, kitchen, living room, and more — without running new wires. It replaces existing mechanical switches, reusing the same wiring (a white neutral wire connection is required). The kit includes one 2-rocker Anywhere switch (US2-V02) and one 1-rocker Anywhere switch (US1-V0), both 120VAC/60Hz professional-grade switches with gloss white faceplates.

Key Features

• Top rocker of the 2-rocker switch controls its own local load circuit; bottom rocker controls the paired 1-rocker switch (virtual 3-way)
• Blue-green status LED shows on/off state
• 900W maximum output, 1W minimum for LED fixtures, per switch
• No new wires — advanced powerline communication transmits over 1 mile on a 14-gauge wire circuit
• No traveler wires or batteries required
• Built-in thermal overload protection; patented heat sink design for cool, long-life operation
• Controls incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, LED, magnetic and electronic low-voltage transformers & ballasts
• Removable, color-changeable rockers (gloss white, almond, light almond, ivory, black, or brown kits available)
• Expandable — combine with additional Anywhere switches or the Plug-In Appliance Relay (UMA-V0), Wire-In Fixture Relay (UFR-V0), or Controlled Receptacle (URD-V0) for whole-home remote lighting and appliance control
• Up to one V3WAY-B and two V3WAY-A kits (plus accessories) can be used in one home across four separate virtual control zones

Ganging & De-Rating (max wattage per box)

Circuit Requirements

• Hot and neutral (black and white wire) power connections are required at both switch locations.
• Controls incandescent, fluorescent, halogen, LED, magnetic and electronic low-voltage lighting transformers & ballasts (1W min., 900W max.). Ballasts for 120VAC metal-halide or mercury/sodium fixtures may need isolation (model ZNF10A). Controls 120VAC/60Hz motors up to 7.5A max.
• One V3WAY-B and two V3WAY-A kits, plus any number of accessories, can be used separately in a home using the 4 available communication channels.
• Both switches should be installed on the same circuit (breaker) for maximum communication distance. If on different circuits, they should be on the same phase for best distance.
• If using both phase A and B circuits in a home with more than one breaker panel or over 2,500 sq. ft., 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.
