Installation Instructions

UNIT DESCRIPTION

Use the Miro™ MRR2 Wireless Repeater in large

installations, where the standard range (approximately

25m/80’) is insufﬁcient, or in buildings with difﬁcult

wireless reception conditions.

The wireless repeater effectively doubles the

transmit/receive range of Miro wireless devices. In

large applications or where radio reception is difﬁcult,

you may use two repeaters, strategically located.

For extremely large or difﬁcult applications requiring more than two repeaters,

please contact Technical Support for assistance.

The wireless repeater also offers a security feature — real life occupancy

emulation. It continuously records a one-week loop of actual Miro wireless

network trafﬁc, and can play it back when you’re away from home — it will look

like the house is occupied.

While we recommend the repeater for either or both of these functions, you

should use only the number required for effective wireless communication

throughout the home. Using too many repeaters will not provide any additional

beneﬁt and may slow down network communication. For in-depth system design

guidance, see Application Assistance, below.

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.

Application Assistance

The Miro Installation Guide provides more information about conﬁguring

the Miro wireless control system, including setting up scenes and presets.

Instructions for installation and use are included with the relevant Miro wireless

devices. Application support information, the Speciﬁcation Guide and the Miro

Installation Guide is available online.

INSTALLATION

1. Locate the repeater in a central location, taking into consideration both the

horizontal and vertical space in the home. In a 2-story plus basement home, a

good position may be on the ﬁrst ﬂoor atop a bookcase.

2. Plug the external power supply into a convenient 120 volt outlet, and connect

the power cord to the repeater’s power socket.

3. The status LED will light yellow, indicating that the unit is ready for

conﬁguration.

Do not locate the MRR2 Wireless Repeater close to

any device that may cause interference or behind

large metal objects that can block radio reception.

Avoid ﬂuorescent light ﬁxtures, TV sets, computers,

refrigerators, microwave ovens, range hoods, safes, etc.

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.

IMPORTANT: Because the repeater increases the range of the Miro wireless

system, it is very important to make sure the repeater is installed and powered

before setting the House ID using any other Miro wireless device. The repeater

automatically checks for House IDs that are installed in the neighborhood.

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 until the

LED ﬂashes 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 ﬂashing green,

indicating that they have acquired the same House ID.

4. Return to the device used in step 2, which is still ﬂashing 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 ﬂashes yellow (about 2

seconds).

2. Verify that the newly added device LED is ﬂashing 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.

When you see

in the instructions,

ﬁrmly press and

hold both buttons

on the MRR2 until

the LED changes

(about 2 seconds).

OPERATION

Wireless Range Boost

Once the repeater is bound to the House, it automatically receives and

retransmits all wireless Miro network trafﬁc in the House, effectively doubling

the range of all devices sharing the same House ID.

Occupancy Emulation

The repeater stores a 7-day record of actual network trafﬁc. It constantly keeps it

up to date to account for seasonal variations in lighting use.

1. Press the Away button. One minute

later the repeater starts playing back

a seven-day loop of wireless Miro

commands. It will be just like the last

week you spent at home.

2. When you come back, press Home,

or any button on any wireless

Miro device in the home to cancel

occupancy emulation.

Power Fail Memory

After a power failure, all Miro devices

automatically return to the state that

they were in immediately prior to loss

of power. All conﬁguration and scene

control information is preserved.

ADVANCED OPERATION

Assigning Occupancy Emulation to a House Scene

You can assign the repeater’s occupancy emulation function to a Miro House

Scene button. This is very convenient, especially if the repeater is installed in a

hard to reach area.

1. From a wireless house scene controller (MRD5 or MRH5), press until its

LED begins ﬂashing (about 2 seconds).

2. Press the scene button you want to use. We recommend the fourth one. The

LEDs on all the Miro wireless devices begin to ﬂash. You now have 10 minutes

to complete this process.

3. Go to the repeater and press both buttons for 2 seconds until the repeater

status LED blinks yellow.

IMPORTANT: Only one repeater should be assigned to the house scene

button. If you have more than one repeater, use the most centrally located.

4. Check all the Miro wireless device LEDs. If they are blinking yellow, they are

assigned to the selected scene button. To exclude a device from the scene

press on the device until the LED begins to ﬂash green.

Yellow ﬂashing LED = Included in the active scene

Green ﬂashing LED = NOT included in the active scene

If a device LED is NOT ﬂashing, the 10 minute binding process timer may have

expired. Go back to step 1 and repeat.

5. Return to the house scene controller used in step 1.

Press for 2 seconds — the status LED stops ﬂashing, then all the status

LEDs in the house turn to solid green.

6. From the same house scene controller, press and hold the same scene button

until the LED ﬂashes once (about 2 seconds). Scene recording for this button

is complete.

7. When you leave the house, press the House Scene button you just recorded.

One minute later, occupancy emulation will begin.

CLEANING

Clean using only 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. Relocate the MRR2. It

may be necessary to add another MRR2 if reception to a particular area of the

house is blocked.

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 ﬂashes yellow and when complete, it

changes to solid yellow. The device can then be reconﬁgured, exactly like any

new device.
