5.5 Working Modes

The smart switch supports three working modes, configurable in the app:

  • Self-locking Mode: Each channel operates independently. Pressing the button turns the device ON, pressing it again turns it OFF. This is the default mode for independent control of multiple devices.
  • Inching Mode: The relay turns ON for a set duration (default 1 second, configurable from 2s to 3600s in the app) and then automatically turns OFF. Ideal for momentary actions like opening a garage door.
  • Interlock Mode: Only one channel can be ON at a time. When one channel is turned ON, any previously ON channel will automatically turn OFF. This is useful for controlling devices where only one state should be active at a time.
