INDICATION LED
All remote control cards are equipped with
– A blue status LED for each relay that lights up when the relay is activated
– A blue 2.4GHz WiFi status LED. Flashes quickly when the device is waiting for app configuration.
POWER CONNECTION
The product has two power supply alternatives.
You can connect a 5VDC microUSB power supply to the E socket.
Alternatively, you can connect a direct current of 7 to 32VDC to the F terminal block.
CONNECTING THE RELAYS
The 4 relays can directly control loads up to 10A with a maximum voltage of 250VAC or 30VDC. Each relay has 3 terminals: the central one is COMMON, if you use the terminal on the left you will get a normally open NO contact, if you use the one on the right you will get a NC contact, normally closed. Here is an example of how you can control a current load alternating with a NO contact, i.e. with the load not powered with the command at rest.
Relay operation is configured with the app.
LOCAL BUTTON CONNECTION
The 4 relays on this board are mainly controlled via app, however it is also possible connect local physical controls. For this purpose, there are 5 pins in the center of the board.
The buttons connect between the common pin C and pins 1.2.3.4
You can connect both buttons and ON/OFF switches to these local inputs. You can define the operation of these local commands through the app (impulse for state change or relay that follows the command status) so as to adapt them to the command you have connected.
RESET BUTTON
In the center of the board is the reset button. If you hold down the reset button for 5 seconds restore factory settings and the device goes into standby mode app setup with the blue LED flashing quickly.

Control relays from app
Now that you have configured your device you can control it with the app. Thanks to the P2P cloud server You can also control it through the Internet.
ON/OFF -The remote control relays are controlled simply by pressing the corresponding buttons.
The button icon turns blue when the remote control has been operated (contact open or closed depending on which clamp you used). The color of the button is a time memory real relay status so that, every time you open the app, you can immediately see the situation in which the relays are located at that time.
RENAME BUTTONS -You can assign a custom name for each relay by holding holding the button for 3 seconds and editing the name.
ALL ON/ALL OFF -With these two buttons you activate and deactivate all the relays simultaneously.
Timer
The TIMER button allows you to configure different types of relay timing.
Remember that if you connect the remote control to voice systems, such as Alexa, you can also set timed actions within the voice platform. The timings you set in Smartlife or those of the voice command platform can also coexist, but you must program them so that they do not conflict.
Each relay can have its own specific timings so the first thing you will choose is the switch to be scheduled
SCHEDULE–You can add automatic activations (ON) and deactivations (OFF) to run on certain days each week. Press the ADD SCHEDULE button, then choose the time of the operation and on which days of the week to perform it. Press SAVE to add the event automatic to the list.
COUNTDOWN -You can start a countdown that will change state when the timer expires to the device. The countdown is a manual function that is active at the moment.
CIRCULATE -You can set activation and subsequent deactivation cycles by creating ON AT X HOURS / OFF AT Y HOURS programming that will repeat every week on the days that you want. It is the typical function to use to automate irrigation, lighting, pool pumps etc.
RANDOM -This function is very particular and is used to activate the relays randomly, within certain time slots. This feature is mainly used to make it appear as if being at home when you are actually away, turning on lights or other devices in a way random.
You can set time slots and days of the week. Within the set time slots, Smartlife will turn the switch on and off randomly.
INCHING -By setting a time in this section the relay that is activated will deactivate automatically after the set time. You can also use this function to make the relays in impulsive mode, with short actuations of 1 or 2 seconds which are required, for example, to control the electric locks.
Setting
The setting button contains general settings that affect all relays.
RELAY STATUS -Here you can set the state that the relays should acquire when the device starts, after a power failure occurs. You can choose ON, OFF or MEMORY which means restore the active state before the network failure.
SWITCH TYPE SETTING -Here you can set the electrical operation of the relays when are activated by local commands or buttons on the card.
