FAQs

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

No, this is a retractive toggle switch. It must be connected to a smart home system or driver pack to send signals for control. It cannot be used as a standalone switch for direct mains power.

What is a 'retractive' switch?

A retractive switch, also known as a momentary switch, stays in the position you push it to only while you are pushing it. When released, it returns to its default state. This action is used to send a pulse or signal, rather than maintaining a circuit.

Do I need an electrician to install this?

Professional installation is highly recommended, especially for smart home integrations, to ensure correct wiring and safety. Incorrect wiring can damage the switch or your smart home system.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The switch plate dimensions are 86mm (Height) x 86mm (Width).

Can this switch be used outdoors?

This switch is designed for indoor use only. It is not rated for outdoor weather conditions.

What type of smart home systems is it compatible with?

It is compatible with smart home systems designed to accept inputs from retractive switches. Specific compatibility will depend on the system's features and the use of appropriate driver packs if needed.

Troubleshooting

Switch does not trigger any action

Verify that the switch is correctly wired to a compatible smart home system or driver pack. Ensure the smart home system is powered on and functioning correctly. Check if the switch has been properly paired with the system.

Intermittent or unreliable performance

Check all wire connections for security. Ensure there are no obstructions or interference affecting the smart home system's signal. If using wirelessly, check signal strength.

Toggle feels stiff or unresponsive

Gently check for any debris around the toggle mechanism. Ensure the faceplate is correctly aligned and not overtightened, which could impede movement. Contact customer support if the issue persists.
