Safety Information

• Professional Installation: Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified professional to ensure safety and proper functionality.
• Power Disconnection: Always disconnect power at the circuit breaker before performing any installation or maintenance.
• Voltage Compatibility: Ensure the switch's voltage rating (110-220V) matches your electrical system.
• Maximum Load: Do not exceed the maximum current of 2A or maximum power of 400W.
• Indoor Use Only: This device is intended for indoor use in dry locations.

Setup and Installation

1. Pre-Installation Checks

• Verify that your electrical box is a standard 4x2 Brazilian type.
• Ensure a stable 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network with good signal strength is available at the installation location.
• Confirm the presence of a neutral wire in your electrical box. If a neutral wire is not present, a neutral-free version of the switch or a voltage stabilizer may be required (consult a professional).

2. Wiring Instructions

1. Turn off power: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you are replacing or the circuit where you are installing the new smart switch.
2. Remove old switch: Carefully remove the existing switch from the wall box.
3. Identify wires: Identify the Live (L), Neutral (N), and Load (L1, L2, L3) wires.
4. Connect wires: Connect the wires to the JWCOM Smart Switch according to the wiring diagram below.
   • Connect the Live wire to the 'L' terminal.
   • Connect the Neutral wire to the 'N' terminal.
   • Connect the Load wires for each light/appliance to the 'L1', 'L2', and 'L3' terminals respectively.
5. Mount the switch: Secure the switch into the wall box using the provided screws. Ensure the screws are tightened sufficiently for stability but avoid over-tightening, which can affect touch sensitivity (see Troubleshooting).
6. Restore power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

3. Voice Control

The JWCOM Smart Switch is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. To enable voice control:

1. Link your JWCOM SMART account to your Alexa or Google Home app.
2. Discover devices within the Alexa or Google Home app.
3. Use voice commands such as:
   • "Alexa, turn on the living room light."
   • "Hey Google, turn off the kitchen fan."

Maintenance

The surface of the JWCOM Smart Switch is made of tempered glass, which is water-resistant and easy to clean. To maintain its appearance and functionality:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the glass surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the switch to prevent accumulation that might affect touch sensitivity.
• Inspection: Periodically check for any loose connections or signs of wear. If any issues are found, consult a qualified electrician.

Troubleshooting

• Touch Sensitivity Issues: If the touch panel is unresponsive or requires excessive force, it might be due to over-tightening the mounting screws. Slightly loosen the screws holding the switch to the wall box to improve sensitivity. Ensure the switch is still securely mounted.
• Light Remains Slightly On (LED Bulbs): For some LED bulbs connected to the switch, a faint glow might be observed even when the switch is off. This is typically due to residual current. The product includes a small capacitor to resolve this. Install this capacitor at the socket of the affected LED bulb. This will prevent the bulb from glowing when off.
• Wi-Fi Connectivity Problems:
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The switch does not support 5GHz networks.
  • Verify that the Wi-Fi signal strength at the switch's location is strong and stable.
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router and the smart switch.
  • Attempt to re-pair the device through the JWCOM SMART app.
• Voice Control Not Working:
  • Ensure your JWCOM SMART account is correctly linked to your Alexa or Google Home app.
  • Check that the device name in the JWCOM SMART app matches the name used in your voice assistant app.
  • Try rediscovering devices in your Alexa or Google Home app.
