UNIT DESCRIPTION
The Miro MRD5 Wireless House Scene Controller provides instant recall of fi ve user-recorded lighting scenes (or presets), across the entire house. The MRD5 is a whole-house controller. It is used in combination with any number of Miro wireless dimming or non-dimming devices. The MRD5 is mounted inside a wall box and framed by an architectural screwless Miro wall plate (required and sold separately). It can be identifi ed by the icon on its front, which resembles the outline of a house exterior.
Typical locations for installing Miro wireless scene controllers are inside the front door, the door from the garage, and the master bedroom. With two or more controllers, you can control up to ten scenes in the house (see OPERATION section). You can install additional house scene controllers to control those scenes from other locations in the house.
The Miro wireless house scene controller works as part of a Miro wireless system. It can control a variety of Miro wireless devices including dimmers, switches, appliance plugs and lamp plugs to create up to fi ve scenes. For example: • Set the house to sleep, turn lights off downstairs but leave low-level pathway lighting for the kids to fi nd the bathroom.
• Light up the whole house for a party setting.
• Create a lighting trail to get you through your morning and evening routines, turning on the lights in dressing rooms, hallways and the kitchen, and perhaps a TV or radio so you can listen to the news.
Note
: To control a single room, use a Miro wireless room scene controller (a wall mounted MRD6 or a handheld MRH6 remote).
Miro Wireless
Miro wireless devices use radio signals to communicate with each other to control lighting and other types of electric loads in selected areas. Miro wireless devices use the 900MHz band for high-speed control communication. Using the Watt Stopper’s own “frequency-agile” Top Dog™ technology, Miro wireless devices avoid interference with other 900MHz devices, such as cordless phones and baby monitors.

SET HOUSE ID
All Miro wireless devices installed in the same home must acquire the same unique House ID before use. This process is known as house binding. Each Miro wireless device is bound to all other Miro wireless devices in the house.
New Installation
1. With all devices installed and energized, make sure that every Miro wireless device LED is yellow. If any LED is off, be sure the circuit breaker is on and the device is correctly installed. 2. Press on any device paddle until the LED fl ashes yellow (about 2 seconds). This indicates that it has acquired a unique House ID.
3. Make sure that all other Miro wireless device LEDs are fl ashing green, indicating that they have When you see in the instructions, firmly press and hold both the top and bottom of the paddle until the LED changes (about 2 seconds).
acquired the same House ID. 4. Return to the device used in step 2, which is still fl ashing yellow. Press until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs in the House change to solid green, indicating house binding is complete.
Adding a Device to an Existing Installation
If you’re adding or replacing a device in a Miro wireless installation that is already operating, the new device must acquire the same House ID as the other Miro wireless devices in the house. After the new device is powered up, the LED should be solid yellow. This indicates that it has not yet acquired a House ID. To acquire the House ID for the existing system: 1. Press on any
previously bound
device until the LED fl ashes yellow (about 2 seconds). 2. Verify that the newly added device LED is fl ashing green, indicating that it has acquired the House ID. 3. Return to the
same previously bound
device used in step 1 and press until the LED changes to solid green (about 2 seconds). All device LEDs should now be solid green.
OPERATION
Button and Paddle Functions
The rocker paddle has a house icon on it. Use it to begin and end binding and scene recording functions. It can also be programmed as an ON/OFF switch, using steps 1-3 of the Record a Whole-House Scene process described below. Once programmed: Tap to switch or fade included devices to on (dimming devices go to full bright). Tap to switch or fade included devices to off. A B C D E When you see in the instructions, touch the top of the paddle as directed.
A B C D E When you see in the instructions, touch the bottom of the paddle as directed.
The smaller buttons, labeled A—E in the illustrations, are used to record and recall scenes. Extra labels are provided so that you can relabel these buttons to better suit your application.
Default Settings:
In a new MRD5, when you tap or the E button, ALL Miro Wireless devices in the house turn off. If, however, the new MRD5 is added to an existing house, it acquires the same scenes as any other MRD5 or MRH5 that is assigned to the same set of scenes (see More Scenes).
Record a Whole-House Scene
1. Go to the MRD5 and press until the LED begins fl ashing (about 2 seconds). Press the desired scene button, or tap the ON/OFF paddle that you wish to program. The LEDs on all the Wireless Miro devices begin to fl ash. You now have 10 minutes to complete this process. 2. To include or exclude a device in the scene press on the device until the LED changes color.
Yellow
fl ashing LED = Included in the active scene
Green
fl ashing LED = NOT included in the active scene If you get to a device and it is NOT fl ashing, the 10 minute binding process timer may have expired. Go back to step 1 and repeat.
NOTE
: You must include devices that are off in the house scene if you want them to turn off when that scene is recalled.
3. Return to the MRD5 used in step 1. Press for 2 seconds — the status LED stops fl ashing, then all the status LEDs in the house revert to green.
4. Go around the house and adjust light levels by pressing and holding
or on the devices that you want to adjust.
5. Go back to the MRD5 used in step 1 and press and hold the same scene button until the LED fl ashes (about 2 seconds). Scene recording for this button is complete. Repeat this process for each scene button.
Recall a recorded scene
1. Press the appropriate scene button.
2. Watch the scene smoothly transition from the previous lighting state. You can recall the same scene from any house scene controller assigned to the same set of house scenes (see More Scenes, below).
Modify the light levels of a house scene
1. Recall the recorded scene.
2. Change lighting levels as desired by pressing or on individual devices.
3. Press and hold the scene button until the LED fl ashes (approximately 2 seconds) to save the new settings.
Modify a previously recorded house scene
Use the Record a Whole-house Scene procedure to modify the devices assigned to an existing house scene.
More Scenes
You can increase the number of house scenes to 10 by adding a second MRD5 to the house, then changing the “scene set assignment” on one of them. The MRD5 scene set assignment is 1-5 when shipped. Changing the second MRD5 scene set assignment to 6-10 allows you to record another 5 scenes that can be accessed by any house scene controller (MRD5 and MRH5) that has a scene set assignment of 6-10.
All house scene controllers that have the same scene set assignment operate the 5 scenes in the same way as all other house scene controllers programmed for the same set (1-5 or 6-10).

After a power failure, all Miro devices automatically return to the state that they were in immediately prior to loss of power. All house binding and scene control information is preserved.
Lock House Configuration
The Lock Confi guration function operates from a wireless Miro house scene controller, and prevents the Miro wireless devices in the system from being reprogrammed. Normal operations such as dimming, switching, scene recall and scene light level modifi cations are not affected.
When the confi guration is locked, if the rocker paddle on any Miro wireless device is pressed and held (- -), the selected device’s LED fl ashes red, and the command is ignored.
To lock the confi guration:
Go to any house scene controller. Simultaneously press and buttons
B
and
E
for 2 seconds to toggle in and out of Lock Confi guration mode.
• If the mode changes from unlocked to locked, the LED fl ashes red for 2 seconds, indicating that confi guration is now locked.
• If the mode changes from locked to unlocked, the LED fl ashes green for 2 seconds, indicating that confi guration is now unlocked.
CLEANING
Clean only using a cloth dampened with water and a little mild detergent. Use of solvents or hydrocarbon-based cleaners may cause permanent damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING
During Set House ID, the LED is not flashing on some Wireless Miro devices.
• If LED is solid green before initiating house ID binding
: The device already has another house ID. Reset it to the factory default so that it can be bound to the desired house ID. Resetting to factory defaults is described in the “I need to start over” issue.
• If LED is solid yellow after initiating house ID binding:
The device may be out of range of the initiating device. Add a MRR2 Wireless Miro Repeater to boost signal range.
I made a configuration mistake. I need to start over.
You can reset any wireless Miro device to factory default settings by pressing and holding until the LED changes to solid yellow (approximately 10 seconds). During the process, the LED fl ashes yellow and when complete, it changes to solid yellow. The device can then be reconfi gured, exactly like any new device.
