3. Operating Instructions
The WUUK Lamp Socket offers versatile lighting modes and smart integration through the WUUK app (required for full functionality with WUUK Cam Pro v2).
3.1. Lighting Modes
The lamp socket supports two primary lighting modes:
- Time-based Rules Mode: Automates lighting based on your preferred time periods. You can set specific schedules for when the light should turn on or off.
