Installation
Pre-installation Checklist:
- Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before installation.
- Verify your home's electrical wiring includes a neutral wire (N-in).
- Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz.
- The switch module is designed to fit into standard switch cassettes.
Wiring Methods:
The diagram illustrates two primary wiring methods. The first method shows direct connection to a light fixture. The second method shows connection with both a light fixture and a traditional rocker switch, allowing for dual control.
Method 1: Direct Light Connection
Connect the smart switch directly to the light fixture. Ensure L-in and N-in are connected to the live and neutral wires from the power source, and L-out and N-out are connected to the light fixture.
Method 2: Connecting with Lights and Rocker Switches (Dual Control)
This method allows the smart switch to work in conjunction with an existing traditional rocker switch for 2-way control. The controller is only connected to lines N and L, not directly to the switch. After installation, you can still manually control the old switch.
Important Wiring Notes:
- The controller should only be connected to the Neutral (N) and Live (L) lines, not directly to the traditional switch's load line.
- This smart DIY switch can be used for old 2-way control setups.
- Manual control via the traditional switch remains functional even after smart switch installation.
The compact size of the smart switch allows for discreet placement behind wall outlets or within switch boxes.
Setup and Pairing
App Installation:
- Download the "Cozy Life" app from your smartphone's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
- Register or log in to your Cozy Life account.
Device Pairing:
- Ensure the smart switch is correctly wired and powered on.
- Open the Cozy Life app and follow the on-screen instructions to add a new device.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How do I use voice control with the smart switch?
A: The smart switch is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant. After linking your Cozy Life account to your smart assistant, you can use voice commands like "Alexa, turn on the light" or "Hey Google, turn off the lamp."
Q2: Which app is used to control the smart switch remotely?
A: You can control the smart switch anytime, anywhere using the "Cozy Life" app on your smartphone.
Q3: Does this device work with Tuya or Smart Life app?
A: The product description specifies "Cozy Life" as the control app. Compatibility with Tuya or Smart Life is not explicitly stated, but many smart home devices share underlying platforms. Please refer to the Cozy Life app for specific integrations.
Q4: Can this unit control more than one lamp?
A: This is a single-channel smart switch designed to control one circuit (e.g., one lamp or a group of lamps connected to a single switch). For controlling multiple independent lamps, you would need multiple smart switches.
Q5: Can this be used for an AC unit?
A: The smart switch is rated for 16A/20A. Please check the power requirements of your 1-ton AC unit. If the AC unit's current draw exceeds the switch's maximum current rating (16A or 20A), it should not be used.
Q6: Can this be used with curtains?
A: This smart switch is designed for on/off control of electrical circuits, typically for lights or simple appliances. It is not designed for motor control with specific open/close positions required for curtains. A dedicated smart curtain module would be more appropriate.
Q7: Does it work with an RF 433 switch?
A: The device uses WiFi communication (802.11 b/g/n) for wireless control. It does not explicitly state compatibility with RF 433MHz switches.
Q8: How do the S1 and S2 terminals work for manual control?
A: The S1 and S2 terminals are typically used to connect to a traditional wall switch for manual control. These are usually momentary (pulsating) switches, but can also be configured for maintained switches depending on the specific firmware and app settings. Refer to the Cozy Life app for configuration options.
