4. Setup and Installation
The Samotech Mini Adapter is designed for easy integration with the SM223-UK Light Switch Surround and your existing UK light switch.
4.1 Components Overview
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Light Switch: Ensure the power to your light switch is turned off at the main circuit breaker. Remove the existing faceplate of your UK light switch.
- Install the SM223-UK Surround: Position the SM223-UK Light Switch Surround over your existing light switch mechanism. Secure it using the original screws or the screws provided with the surround. Ensure it is flush and stable.
- Insert the Mini Adapter: Take the Samotech Mini Adapter (SM202-BT). Align it with the opening in the SM223-UK Light Switch Surround. The adapter is designed to fit snugly into this opening.
- Secure the Adapter: Gently push the SM202-BT adapter into the surround until it clicks into place or sits firmly. It should create a seamless surface with the surround.
- Insert Philips Hue Smart Button: Once the adapter is in place, insert your Philips Hue Smart Button into the circular recess of the SM202-BT adapter. The button should fit securely.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at your main circuit breaker.
5. Operating the Adapter
The Samotech Mini Adapter is a passive component designed to hold your Philips Hue Smart Button securely and aesthetically. Once installed, the adapter itself does not require any operation. The functionality of your smart lighting system will be controlled directly through the Philips Hue Smart Button as per its own instructions.
The adapter ensures that the physical light switch remains in the 'ON' position, preventing accidental power cuts to your smart bulbs and maintaining continuous power for your smart lighting system.
6. Maintenance
The Samotech Mini Adapter requires minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the adapter, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
- Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these may damage the material and finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check that the adapter remains securely seated within the SM223-UK surround and that the Philips Hue Smart Button fits snugly.
7. Troubleshooting
- Adapter does not fit into the surround: Ensure you have the correct Samotech SM223-UK Light Switch Surround. The SM202-BT adapter is specifically designed for this surround. Check for any obstructions or debris in the opening.
- Philips Hue Smart Button does not fit into the adapter: Verify that you are using an official Philips Hue Smart Button. The adapter is precisely molded for this specific button. Do not force the button into the recess.
- Adapter feels loose: Re-check the installation of the SM223-UK surround to ensure it is securely fastened to the wall switch. The adapter should snap firmly into the surround.
- Smart lights are not responding: This issue is typically related to the Philips Hue Smart Button or your Hue Bridge, not the adapter itself. Ensure your Hue system is powered, connected, and the button is properly paired. Check the battery in your Philips Hue Smart Button.
