Safety Information and Important Notes
- Electrical Safety: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or a person with sufficient knowledge of electrical systems. Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before installation or maintenance.
- Network Compatibility: This device supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks ONLY. It is not compatible with 5GHz Wi-Fi.
- Bulb Requirements: Ensure connected light bulbs have a rated power of ≥ 5W.
- No Neutral Wire Required: This switch is designed for systems without a neutral wire. A 1A capacitance is required for proper operation and is included in the package.
- Not for 3-Way Circuits: This switch is designed for single-pole (1-way) circuits only and cannot be used as a 3-way switch.
- Capacitor Note: The included capacitance may produce a faint humming sound during operation. This is normal.
