Applications

The Smart Switch is designed to switch a load of up to 3 W (max) manually at the switch or remotely using the Lightwave App.
The Switch has a built-in temperature sensor. This allows it to operate automatically based on changes in local temperature and is ideal for use as a room thermostat operating electric (panel) heaters. It can also be used to remotely operate a gas boiler and AC units.

Loading
The max load should not exceed 3

Location

The Smart Switch is a Class II device that does not require a separate housing. It should only be installed and used indoors.
If the Smart Switch is to be utilized as a thermostat, for optimum temperature monitoring the Internal Temperature Sensor (located behind the grille on the right side of the Switch) should not be positioned adjacent to a direct heat source.
If the Switch is used to control a panel heater, it should ideally be positioned either below or adjacent to the bottom corner of the panel heater at a distance greater than 150mm (6”). Where it is not possible to isolate the Switch from direct heat sources, it can be operated in conjunction with a separate thermostat.

Environmentally friendly disposal
Old electrical appliances must not be disposed of together with residual waste, but have to be disposed of separately. The disposal at the communal collecting point via private persons is for free. The owner of old appliances is responsible for bringing the appliances to these collection points or to similar collection points. With this little personal effort, you contribute to recycling valuable raw materials and the treatment of toxic substances.

Installing the Smart Switch & Linking

Carefully follow the instructions in this section to install the Smart Switch. Please remember that mains electricity is dangerous. Do not take any risks. For other advice, please contact our dedicated technical support team at www.lightwaverf.com.
The easiest way to learn how to install the Lightwave Smart Switch is to watch our short installation video which is accessible at www.lightwaverf.com/product-manuals

Turn off the electricity supply
Turn off the mains power supply to your existing power circuit at the consumer unit.

Remove the Backplate and clamp
Remove the backplate by un-tightening the screws located at the bottom edge of the cover and carefully unhooking from the main unit.

Wire the Switch
Carefully wire the Socket as shown in the diagrams. Be aware that existing cables can vary in colour and may not always be correctly labeled. If in any doubt, always consult a qualified electrician.

Replace the Clamp and backplate
Screw in the cable clamp to secure the cables, and replace the backplate by hooking it onto the top edge of the Switch and clipping in the bottom. Tighten the screws at the bottom to secure the plate.

Linking
To be able to command the Smart Switch, you will need to link it to the Link Plus.

Linking the Smart Switch & other functions

Firmware updates
Firmware updates are over-the-air software improvements that keep your device up to date as well as providing new features. Updates can be approved from the App before being implemented, and generally take 2-5 minutes. The LED will ﬂash cyan in colour during an update. Please do not interrupt the process during this time.

Error reporting
Permanently slow ﬂashing red LEDs indicate that a software or hardware error has been encountered. Press the main button to reset the device. If the error lights persist, please contact Lightwave support via www.lightwaverf.com/support.

Energy Monitoring
Similar to Lightwave Smart Sockets, the Smart Switch can monitor the energy usage of electrical devices that are connected to each independent circuit. The data for each circuit is then displayed in the Lightwave App.

Locking the Relay
The Smart Switch can be ‘locked’ using the App so that the manual buttons will not operate any of the circuits. A locked switch is signiﬁed by a slow ﬂashing magenta LED. To lock / unlock the Switch, press the ‘lock’ button on the Smartphone App. Clearing the memory will remove the lock.
