7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your MOES Smart Switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the switch and wall plate with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or internal components.
• Avoid Moisture: Keep the switch away from water and excessive humidity.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check the switch for any signs of damage or loose connections. If any issues are found, turn off power at the breaker and consult a qualified electrician.

8. Troubleshooting

• Switch Not Responding:
  • Ensure power is on at the circuit breaker.
  • Verify the neutral wire is correctly connected.
  • Check if the switch is properly paired with the Zigbee hub. Try re-pairing if necessary.
• Cannot Connect to Zigbee Hub:
  • Ensure your Zigbee hub is powered on and connected to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
  • Move the switch closer to the Zigbee hub to improve signal strength.
  • Reset the switch to factory settings (refer to app instructions for specific method) and attempt pairing again.
• 3-Way Configuration State Sync Issues:
  • If the smart switch does not correctly report the light's on/off state when controlled by a traditional (non-smart) 3-way switch, verify all wiring connections, especially the traveler and load wires.
  • Some 3-way setups with a traditional switch may not provide real-time state feedback to the smart switch. For full state synchronization, consider replacing both 3-way switches with MOES smart switches.
• Voice Control Not Working:
  • Ensure your MOES account is linked to your Alexa or Google Home app.
  • Check that the device name in the MOES app matches the name used in voice commands.
  • Verify your smart speaker is connected to the internet.
