• Tap the “>” tool to change the device name.
  
• Next we’ll create a new Room called “Garage.

Creating Schedules for the In-Wall Smart Switch

• The ABRA app provides several ways to create schedules for your In Wall Smart Switch.
  
• Add a schedule by tapping the “+” tool at the lower right, then tap “Schedule.
  
• Set the Start Time for the schedule with the numerical dial, along with the days of the week.
• “Perform Switch; Please Choose” sets the Smart Switch to either turn ON or OFF based on the schedule.
  
• If you have multiple smart switches, you can assign the schedule to all of them, or you can set each one to a different schedule.
• Tap “>” to select ON or OFF
  
• Repeat the process to create an ON schedule and an OFF schedule. The schedules will now appear on the Schedule screen in the Control Panel
  
• For more sophisticated schedules with Sunrise/Sunset capabilities, use the ABRA app advanced Scheduling Tool found on the “Smart” page.
• Select “Automation” at the top of the page, then tap “Create Smart Task.”
  
• Select “When Weather Changes” from the Smart Task menu. This is where the Sunset/Sunrise astronomic settings can be found.
  
• The astronomic is based on the gps location in your mobile device when you set up your app.
  
• Tap “Sunrise” and note that you can offset the time by 5 minutes to 5  ours. For example, you can createa  schedule that begins 20 minutes before sunrise every day.
  
• Select “Control Single Device
  
• Next, select your In-Wall Smart Switch by tapping the “>”
  
• Select “OFF” and “Save.”
  
• Now, every day at sunrise the Smart Switch will turn OFF.
  
• Name the schedule “Sunrise,” tap “Confirm,” then “Save.”
• TIP: If you plan to add more smarts witches or other ABRA devices, it’ sa  good idea to name the schedules cording to their timing vs. “Garage Lights” or something like that. It will provide more flexibility when you ant to sync multiple devices to the same schedule.
  
• To create an “ON” schedule, you  imply repeat the process. In this example, we’ll use time-of-day to turn the switch ON.
• Go back to the “Smart” page “Automations” tab and select “Schedule
  
• Dial in the desired time and change the “Repeat>Once” selection to open the 7-day calendar.

• Again, select “Control Single Device” and choose the smart switch.
  
• This time, select “On” to turn the Smart Switch ON, then “Save.”
  
• Now, every day at 6:30PM the Smart Switch will turn ON
  
• Name the schedule, tap “Confirm,” then “Save.”
  
• The “Smart>Automation” page now contains the two automated schedules you just created.
• The “6:30 pm Schedule” turns the  BRA In-wall Smart Switch ON every day. The “Sunrise” schedule turns the Smart Switch OFF every day at sunrise
  
• Note that Automated Schedules can easily be modified, re-named, deleted, and turned On/Off using various tools in the ABRA app.

Using Google Home and Amazon Alexa

• The ABRA In-Wall Smart Switch can be used with Google Home and Amazon Alexa, for voice and app control.

• Tap “Agree and link” to proceed with the account linking.
  
• Successful account linking will beconfirmed. You can now use Google voice commands to control your ABRA switch.
  
• The process is similar when linking ABRA to your Alexa account.

ABRA and Siri

• ABRA supports Siri voice commands on Apple devices.
• Unlike Google Home and Amazon Alexa, each Siri voice command for ABRA must be created from scratch.
• However, the process of creating Siri voice commands for ABRA (e.g., ”Hey Siri, turn lights ON”) is not difficult.
  
• Start by going to Settings on your iOS device, then scroll down to “Apps.”
  
• Select the Intermatic ABRA app.
  
• Select “Siri.”
  
• Allow all permissions for Siri within the ABRA app.
• Exit “Settings.”
  
• In the ABRA app, select “Smart.”
• Select “Tap-to-Run, then tap “Create Smart Task.”
  
• Select “Launch Tap-to-Run.”
  
• Select the “+” symbol next to “Then” to define the task.
  
• A sub-menu appears with several options.
• Here you can define a task that controls a single device or a task that triggers a smart scene.
• In this example we’ll select “Control Single Device.”
  
• Scroll horizontally to find the desired Room.
• The devices in each Room appear in the list.
• In this example, we’ll select the “ABRA In-Wall Smart Switch” located in the space called “Front Porch.”
  
• There are 3 functions for this device: ON, OFF, and Reverse Switch. For this example we’ll select “ON.”
• Tap “Save,” then “Next” at the top of the screen.
  
• The Smart Task itself is saved, but you will still need to give it a name.
• This is a critical step because Siri will use that name as the voice command.
• Tap “Save” to name the Smart Task and define the Siri voice command.
  
• For this example, let’s call the Scene “Porch Light On” and tap “Confirm.”
  
• The “Porch Light On” scene is now saved on the Smart> Tap-to-Run page.
• Tap the “Add to Siri” button to save the new Siri voice command.
  
• “Porch Light On” is added to the Siri Shortcut List.
• Tap on the shortcut to edit the Siri command if needed.
  
• To adjust the shortcut phrase, simply tap “Change Voice Phrase.”
  
• You can simply say the new phrase into your device and Siri will automatically turn the phrase into the new Siri voice command.
• For example, you can change the phrase to “Hey Siri, turn porch light on.”
  
• Tap “Done” to save the new phrase.
• Once you’ve saved your Siri voice commands to the Siri Shortcut List, you can use Siri at any time to activate a lighting scene or a particular function for any of your ABRA devices.
  

In-Wall Smart Switch and Matter

• The Intermatic In-Wall Smart Switch is Matter-certified, allowing it to work with any Matter-compatible Smart Home platform.
• Matter is a new industry standard for smart devices, enabling simple pairing and consistent performance across all Matter-compatible platforms and brands.
  
• Popular Matter-compliant platforms include Amazon Alexa, Apple Home, Google Home, and Samsung SmartThings.
• This is different than linking your ABRA account with your Google Home or Amazon Alex account for voice control.
  
• The Matter QR Code can be found on the front of the In-Wall Switch.
• Follow the Matter-specific instructions from your smart home platform provider to add the Intermatic switch.
  
• For example, in the Alexa app you’ll begin by tapping the “+” icon to “Add Device.”
  
• Choose “Select your Matter Device” at the top of the menu.
  
• From there, the Alexa app will walk you through the discovery and pairing process.
  
• Regardless of the app, you’ll have the opportunity to scan the  ode with your phone’s camera or enter it numerically.
• Once added, you can use the functions in your platform’s app to control, manage, and schedule your Intermatic In-Wall Smart Switch.
