Help on the wiring of Zipato MM Switch Single
Need Answer
Hi, I want to be able to command an electric water heater through a micromodule single switch. I have a switch outside my bathroom that allows me to switch it on and of and I don't know what to do with my Zipato switch.
Either wire it between my switch and my water heater, in which case the Zipato switch would appear off line in case I turn off the current manual switch or use one of the S1 ou S2 connection on the micromodule in which case I suppose the micromodule would remain online.
Any suggestion (providing you understood my question LOL!)

No connection

basically eric, you need the micro module powered at all times so it can communicate with the zipato controller, receive and send information over zwave. If power is cut to the micro module, it will go offline, thus not acting as a z-wave repeater to make you network stronger or be able to send communication to the HUB if the manual wall switch is triggered.
In your example, triggering the wall switch will only power on the micro module, it will not act as a message to the micro module to turn on the output(heater) or the Zipato HUB. It also will take a minute for the micro module to power up and establish a connection with the Zipato HUB. And powering off a module like this can make then loose connection with the Zipato controller altogether and then require you to re pair the device.

Please see attached pic
- The Load is the heater in your case
- This will allow you to control the heater through Zipato system and manually
- Make sure that the heater doesn't exceed 11A ( max load for single switch is 11 A)

- The SS has three Switch types, you can find them here

Thank you very much Abdalrahman. I just wonder why this wiring is preferable to just inserting the microswitch after the light switch (well I understand that if I do that and that someone turns off the light switch the microswitch will appear off line in my Zipato dashboard, but what difference does it really make?

They merged the two topics in one topic, and my comments appear duplicated,
could you please delete duplicated comments?

Well I cannot delete anything, that's the problem. They even left the "Disregard this post"!!!
