Operating

1. Control Modes:

The smart switch supports two main operating modes:

  • Inching Mode (Momentary): The relay turns on for a set duration (e.g., 0.5 seconds) and then automatically turns off. Ideal for momentary actions like garage door openers or electric strikes.
  • Self-locking Mode (Toggle): The relay toggles its state with each command (on/off). Ideal for controlling lights or other devices that require a continuous on/off state.

You can configure the operating mode within the eWelink application settings for the device.

2. eWelink APP Control:

Once paired, you can control your device from anywhere using the eWelink app.
