Operating Instructions (Voice Control)

Once your smart switch is set up with Apple HomeKit or the CozyLife app, you can use voice commands through compatible smart assistants.

• Siri (Apple HomeKit): Activate Siri on your Apple device and say commands like, "Hey Siri, turn on the living room light" or "Hey Siri, turn off the bedroom switch."
• Google Assistant: Link your CozyLife account to Google Home. Then use commands such as, "Hey Google, turn on [device name]" or "Hey Google, dim [device name] to 50%."
• Amazon Alexa: Enable the CozyLife skill in the Alexa app and link your account. Use commands like, "Alexa, turn on [device name]" or "Alexa, set [device name] to off."

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the switch panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Home app or CozyLife app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the switch is used within its specified working temperature range (-10~45℃) and away from excessive humidity.

Troubleshooting (FAQ)

Q: How to reset the device to factory mode?

A: To reset the device, press and hold the switch button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly. This will put the device into pairing mode or factory reset it, depending on the specific model's behavior.

Q: If I have added the device through the Home app, but now I want to use the CozyLife app and an Intelligent speaker to control devices, what should I do?

A: You can typically add the device to both the Home app and the CozyLife app simultaneously. For intelligent speakers like Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, you will need to link your CozyLife account within their respective apps (Google Home or Amazon Alexa app) to enable control. The device does not need to be removed from HomeKit to be used with CozyLife and other smart speakers.

Q: The light flickers when using the switch without a neutral wire.

A: If you are using the switch in a no-neutral wire configuration and experience flickering, install the provided capacitor across the light fixture terminals. This helps stabilize the circuit.

Q: The switch is not responding to touch or app commands.

A: Check the power supply to the switch. Ensure your Wi-Fi network is active and the switch is within range. Try resetting the switch to factory mode and re-pairing it if the issue persists.

User Tips

• Consistent Naming: Use simple and consistent names for your smart switches across all apps (Home app, CozyLife, Alexa, Google Assistant) for easier voice control.
• Group Devices: For multiple lights in one room, consider grouping them in your smart home app to control them with a single command.
• Automations: Explore creating automations or scenes in your Home app or CozyLife app to schedule lights to turn on/off at specific times or based on other triggers.
• Wi-Fi Stability: Ensure your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network is stable and has good coverage in the areas where your smart switches are installed for reliable performance.
