FAQs

What does 'retractive' or 'Push-to-Make' mean?

A retractive switch, also known as Push-to-Make, briefly makes an electrical connection when pressed and breaks the connection when released. This is different from a standard light switch that stays in position. It's designed to send a signal to a smart home system.

Is this switch compatible with all smart home systems?

No, compatibility must be confirmed with your specific home automation supplier. It requires a system that can interpret the momentary contact signal from a retractive switch.

Can I use this to directly control a light like a normal switch?

Typically, no. This switch is designed to send a signal to a smart home hub or controller, which then manages the light. It does not directly switch mains power for a light fitting in the way a traditional latching switch does.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The dimensions are approximately H:0.4 x W:0.9 x D:0.9 cm. Note that these are compact dimensions, and the plate is designed to cover a standard UK/EU back box.

What material is the switch made from?

The switch is made from durable PC (Polycarbonate) material.

How do I clean the Ocean Blue finish?

Use a soft, dry cloth for regular cleaning. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the switch is thoroughly dried before power is restored.

What is the warranty period?

The Trendi Switch comes with a 5-year guarantee from the manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Switch not triggering automation

Verify power supply to the switch. Ensure wiring is correct and secure. Check the configuration within your home automation software and confirm the switch is paired/recognized.

Switch feels loose or wobbly

Ensure the screwless plate is correctly seated and the module is securely fitted into the back box. Check for any obstructions preventing a flush fit.

Color does not match expectations

Monitor colors can vary. Refer to official product images or request a sample if color matching is critical. Ensure the correct model number (ART-SSR1OB for Ocean Blue) was purchased.

Intermittent connection

Check all wire connections for tightness. Ensure the back box is not interfering with the switch module's seating. Rule out interference with the home automation hub signal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure power to the relevant circuit is switched OFF at the mains.
  2. Remove the existing switch plate.
  3. Connect the wiring to the appropriate terminals on the Trendi Switch module according to your home automation system's requirements and standard electrical practices.
  4. Carefully fit the module into the compatible back box.
  5. Attach the screwless plate.
  6. Restore power at the mains.
  7. Configure the switch within your home automation software.

Compatibility:

This switch is designed for use with compatible home automation systems. It is crucial to consult your home automation supplier to confirm compatibility before purchase and installation. It requires a standard electrical back box and appropriate wiring.

Care:

To clean the switch, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the switch is completely dry before restoring power. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish.
