Battery-free Zigbee wall switch CWS-4-1-00

Wireless and battery-free, the CWS-4-1-00 wall switch sticks or screws on wherever you need it. The energy from your press is enough to send the Zigbee command to your gateway, or directly to a NodOn module.

The problem: there's always a switch missing

At the top of a staircase, next to the bed, at the entrance to a remodelled room: adding a wired switch means chasing the wall, running a cable and repainting. And conventional wireless controls run on batteries that need to be monitored and replaced.

The NodOn Battery-free Zigbee Wall Switch solves both problems: it needs no cable, and it generates the energy it needs with every press.

The CWS-4-1-00: a self-powered Zigbee Green Power control

In an 80 × 80 × 15 mm format, the switch includes a kinetic energy harvester and communicates via Zigbee Green Power, the part of the Zigbee standard designed for battery-free devices.

🔋 Battery-free A kinetic energy harvester powers every transmission: no batteries to change, no maintenance	📍 Wireless Fixed with the two supplied adhesive strips or with screws, on a wall, a kitchen splashback or a piece of furniture
🔲 1 or 2 rockers The switch can be fitted with a single or double rocker, giving up to four buttons to control several devices	📶 Zigbee Green Power Generic switch compatible with the 16 Zigbee channels of the 2.4 GHz band, 15 m range

Key point: Green Power must be supported by your gateway. This is the case with Zigbee2MQTT (and therefore Home Assistant or Jeedom via Zigbee2MQTT) and EdalsoBMS. However, ZHA, Home Assistant's native Zigbee integration, does not support Green Power.

Two ways to use it

The switch can be integrated into a complete home automation system, or work directly with a NodOn module, without any gateway:

Option 1

With a Zigbee gateway

Each press is reported to your gateway, which links it to the action of your choice: turning on a light, closing the shutters, launching a scene.

Option 2

Directly with a NodOn module

The switch pairs directly with a NodOn Zigbee micromodule, for example up to four switches on a single SIN-4-RS-20 roller shutter module, without a gateway.

⚠️ Good to know: commissioning requires knowing the Zigbee radio channel of the target receiver or network. The product is for indoor use only and is not suitable for children under 3.

Setup in 3 steps

1	Mounting Open the switch by pushing in the middle, then fix the base with the two supplied self-adhesive strips or with screws (not supplied). Then clip on the rocker(s).

Choosing the radio channel

If the target network uses one of the primary channels (11, 15, 20 or 25), press and hold the corresponding button for 7 seconds or more: A0 for channel 15, B0 for 11, A1 for 20, B1 for 25. Check that the receiver has accepted the request, then confirm the channel by pressing A1 and B0 simultaneously.

3	Assigning the buttons Once the switch has been recognised, assign each button to an action in your gateway. When paired directly with a NodOn micromodule, the switch immediately controls the device connected to the module.

What you can automate
