Device Overview
The HomeLink® Smart Home Connector™ allows you to
use the HomeLink® buttons in your vehicle to control your
Z-Wave® smart home system. With a single button press,
you can trigger customized scenes—like turning on lights,
adjusting the thermostat, or locking doors.
The Connector plugs into a standard U.S. wall outlet and
comes with a separate handheld remote. This remote is
used to program your in-vehicle HomeLink® buttons and
can also trigger Z-Wave scenes directly.
You can program up to six different scenes* using the
Connector.
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with
other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers.
All mains-operated nodes within the network will act
as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability
of the network.
2 33
* A scene is a group of smart home actions (like turning off lights, locking doors, adjusting thermostat)
that can be triggered by a single HomeLink button press. Each channel on the Connector can activate
a different scene.

Quick Start Guide
The HomeLink® Smart Home Connector™ can be installed in two different ways
depending on your smart home setup. Please review the descriptions below
to determine which set of instructions best fits your situation:
Alarm.com Dealers
Follow these instructions if your system is professionally installed and
managed by an Alarm.com dealer. These steps are tailored for technicians
using the Alarm.com MobileTech app and are designed to enable Z-Wave
Long Range through SmartStart setup.
DIY (Do It Yourself)
Use these steps if you’re setting up the device yourself, without the help
of an Alarm.com professional. This guide assumes you’re using a standard
Z-Wave controller (like a hub from SmartThings, Hubitat, or similar) and
may not support Z-Wave Long Range or SmartStart features, depending
on your system.
Alarm.com Dealers
1. Scan the Connector’s DSK QR code using MobileTech. This will allow the device
to learn in via SmartStart, which is required to enable Z-Wave Long Range.
2. Plug your Connector into a standard 120 VAC outlet. It is intended for interior use.
Ideally it should be placed between where you park your vehicle and your Alarm.com
panel. Suggested locations include an attached garage, a breezeway, inside entryway
or foyer—and best if visible from your vehicle. Once the Connector is plugged
in, a blue light should begin to blink. (If it does not, see the section titled
“Factory reset” below.)
3. Confirm that the Connector has been added to your Z-Wave network. This can take
several minutes. If after 10 minutes the Connector is still not added to the network,
or if the device is not properly recognized, remove it from the network following the
steps under “Removing the Connector from your Z-Wave network,” plug it in as close
as possible to the Z-Wave controller and try SmartStart again.
4. Train HomeLink in your vehicle with the handheld remote. Bring the new handheld
remote to your vehicle. (For more information see the “Vehicle HomeLink Programming”
below or visit the full instructions online at homelink.com/program).
a. Press and hold the vehicle-installed HomeLink® button you’d like to train AND
any one of your handheld remote buttons until the HomeLink® light changes
from a slow flash to a fast flash (typically 10 to 20 seconds).
b. Repeat for each button you’d like to program to an Alarm.com scene.
5. Program HomeLink in-vehicle buttons to Connector. Now that the HomeLink buttons
in your vehicle know how to communicate with the Connector (in the previous step),
the in-vehicle buttons presses can be assigned to any of the available Connector
channels, 1 through 6.
a. Press the FUNCTION button on the Connector. The FUNCTION light should
be flashing blue to indicate it is in programming mode.
b. Press the CHANNEL button on the Connector to select the channel you’d like
to program (1 through 6). The CHANNEL light flashes will indicate what channel
is selected. For example, if it flashes 3 times, channel 3 is selected.
c. In your vehicle, press the HomeLink button you’d like to assign to that channel
within 30 seconds. When successful the FUNCTION light will turn green
or 5 seconds.
d. After the FUNCTION light turns off, confirm the Connector is receiving signals
from your in-vehicle HomeLink module. Do this by pressing the assigned HomeLink
button, the FUNCTION light should quickly blink green.
e. Repeat steps a-c for each channel you’d like to assign to a button.
6. Set up your scenes with Alarm.com. Now that everything is set up and connected,
you can go to your Alarm.com mobile app and configure your Connector scenes.
Navigate to the Scenes, Configure Remotes page to create remote-triggered scenes
for your car buttons. The app will lead you through the final steps.

DIY (Do It Yourself)
1. If your Z-Wave system supports SmartStart, scan the device QR code. SmartStart
allows the product to be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR
code with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. If your system does not support
SmartStart, skip this step.
2. Plug your Connector into a standard 120 VAC outlet. It is intended for interior use.
Ideally it should be placed between where you park your vehicle and your Alarm.com
panel. Suggested locations include an attached garage, a breezeway, inside entryway
or foyerr—and best if visible from your vehicle. Once the Connector is plugged
in, a blue light should begin to blink. (If it does not, see the section titled
“Factory reset” below.)
3. Put your Z-Wave Controller into inclusion mode. If using SmartStart, no further
action is required, the HomeLink Connector will be added automatically within
10 minutes of it being switched on in the network vicinity. If not using SmartStart,
reference the instructions that came with your Z-Wave Controller as this step will
be unique for each system.
4. Confirm that the Connector has been added to your Z-Wave network. This can take
several minutes. If after 10 minutes the Connector is still not added to the network, or
if the device is not properly recognized, remove it from the network. Plug it in as close
as possible to the Z-Wave controller and try again.
5. Train HomeLink in your vehicle with the handheld remote. Bring the new
handheld remote to your vehicle. (For more information see the “Vehicle HomeLink
Programming” below or visit the full instructions online at homelink.com/program )
a. Press and hold the vehicle-installed HomeLink® button you’d like to train AND
any one of your handheld remote buttons until the HomeLink® light changes from
a slow flash to a fast flash (typically 10 to 20 seconds).
b. Repeat for each button you’d like to program to an Alarm.com scene.
6. Program HomeLink in-vehicle buttons to Connector. Now that the HomeLink buttons
in your vehicle know how to communicate with the Connector (in the previous step),
the in-vehicle buttons presses can be assigned to any of the available Connector
channels, 1 through 6.
a. Press the FUNCTION button on the Connector. The FUNCTION light should be
flashing blue to indicate it is in programming mode.
b. Press the CHANNEL button on the Connector to select the channel you’d like
to program (1 through 6). The CHANNEL light flashes will indicate what channel
is selected. For example, if it flashes 3 times, channel 3 is selected.
c. In your vehicle, press the HomeLink button you’d like to assign to that channel within
30 seconds. When successful the FUNCTION light will turn green for 5 seconds.
d. After the FUNCTION light turns off, confirm the Connector is receiving signals
from your in-vehicle HomeLink module. Do this by pressing the assigned HomeLink
button, the FUNCTION light should quickly blink green.
e. Repeat steps a-c for each channel you’d like to assign to a button.
7. Set up your Z-Wave scenes. Now that everything is set up and connected, you can go
to your Z-Wave controller and configure your Connector scenes. You can assign each
of the 6 channels to do a unique scene in your smart home automation system. Please
reference the instructions for your controller for more information.
Additional Instructions
Add the Connector into your Z-Wave network
This function is only available if the unit is not connected to a Z-Wave network, either
because it is new, or because it has been removed from the network or factory reset.
If your system supports SmartStart, scan the DSK QR Code on the back of the
product or this manual with your Z-Wave system controller and then plug in the device.
No further action is required, it will be added automatically within 10 minutes.
For systems that do not support SmartStart, the unit will automatically go into Z-Wave
inclusion mode when it is plugged in. If the unit has not been included via SmartStart
within 1 minute of power on, it will enter classic Z-Wave inclusion mode.
While in inclusion mode, FUNCTION will blink blue. It will flash solid green when the
Connector has been connected to the network.
Note: This device utilizes S2 for Z-Wave inclusion which provides a higher level of
security. However, it also increases the likelihood of inclusion errors in larger networks.
If you experience an error during this process, remove the connector from the Z-Wave
network (as described in the following section), temporarily move the device very
close to your Z-Wave panel or controller, and retry the inclusion process.
Remove the Connector from your Z-Wave network
First, set your Z-Wave controller to exclusion mode, sometimes this is found under
an option to “remove a device.”
If you are an Alarm.com installer, use MobileTech and follow these steps:
1. Go to Equipment, then Z-Wave Devices
2. Expand the Z-Wave Actions drop down at the top of the screen
3. Press Delete Z-Wave Devices
4. Wait for the bolded message: “Checking for new devices on the network.”
Alternatively, to set your Qolsys panel to clear a device, follow these steps:
5. Press Settings in the swipe-down settings tray
6. Press Advanced Settings and enter an installer code (default is 1111)
7. Press Installation, then Devices and then Z-Wave Devices
8. Press Add Device and then Include
9. Press Clear Device
Once your Z-Wave controller is set to exclusion mode, continue by pressing and holding
the FUNCTION button on the Connector until the light is yellow, then release.
The FUNCTION light will blink yellow when the Connector is waiting to be removed
from the network. It will blink green when it has successfully been removed. It will then
return to the inclusion mode, ready for adding to a Z-Wave network, indicated by the
FUNCTION light blinking blue.
If the remove fails, the FUNCTION light will flash red for five seconds then return to
normal state. Try the above steps again. If it is not successful after repeated attempts,
you may need to perform a factory reset on the Connector to return it to inclusion mode.
