6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Working Modes

The 1-channel relay module supports two primary working modes: Self-locking and Jog (Inching) mode. These modes can be configured within the eWeLink app.

• Self-locking Mode: In this mode, the relay acts like a traditional on/off switch. One tap turns the device on, and another tap turns it off. The state remains until manually changed.
• Jog (Inching) Mode: In this mode, the relay will automatically turn off after a set period (0.5 to 3600 seconds) once it's turned on, or automatically turn on after a set period once it's turned off. This is useful for momentary actions like garage door openers or pulse switches. The duration can be customized in the app.

6.2 Remote Control & Voice Control

Once paired, you can control your device using the following methods:

• eWeLink App: Remotely turn devices on/off, set schedules, and manage groups from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Bluetooth Control: Control the device at close range even when your Wi-Fi network is disconnected.
• Amazon Alexa / Google Home: Integrate the module with your smart home ecosystem for convenient voice control. Follow the instructions within the Alexa or Google Home app to link your eWeLink account.
• 2.4G Wireless Remote Control: (Sold separately) For local control without needing a smartphone or internet connection.
