Web Interface
To use the web interface, you have to find the IP address of the switch. Depending on your home network, there are several options you can choose from.
- If you know how to configure your WLAN router: Open the user interface of your home router to find the IP address of the WLAN switch. Most routers show a list of devices connected to the network.
- If you are running Mac OS or Windows 10 on a computer: Open a web browser with the address: http://delock-XXXX.local/ or http://delock-XXXX/ (XXXX: 4 numbers).
- If you have an AVM Fritz box: Open a web browser with the address: http://delock-XXXX.fritz.box (XXXX: 4 numbers).
- If you want to find the IP address with an Android device or iPhone: Install the APP "Fing" on your mobile device. It examines your network and displays the IP address of the WLAN switch.
With the IP address you can start the web interface of the device in your browser, there are several options:
- You can toggle the switch on or off. ?/0️⃣
- You can enter advanced configuration to connect to a smart home gateway or program a timer (see section advanced configuration). ⚙️
- See general information about the switch and the firmware. ℹ️
- Upgrade the firmware (see section firmware update). ⬆️
- Open a console to enter commands. For a list of commands please refer to the Tasmota Wiki: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Commands/
- Restart the WLAN switch. ?
Configuration with Alexa
The device is using an emulation for use with Alexa. To make it usable in Alexa, just search for new devices, and a WLAN switch will be recognized. ▶️
Firmware Update / Changing the Language
The default language of the WLAN switch is German. If you want to change the firmware of the web interface, go to "Firmware Update". Edit the filename of the OTA URL reflecting your language: "11827-en.bin" for English or "11827-de.bin" for German. Start the upgrade, and wait for the device to restart.
Web Interface / Advanced Configuration
- You can configure up to 16 different timers. Enable timers, select the timer number, and set the time and day. You can choose 3 different actions: On, Off and toggle. Select "Arm" to enable the timer, and "Repeat" for regular repeating the timer action. Save the configuration. ⏰
- WiFi configuration: You can change the SSID and password, or the hostname of your device. ?
- MQTT (and Domoticz) configuration: Enter the IP address and password of your MQTT server. Please refer to your MQTT server documentation for details. ☁️
- Logging options: You can configure the log level and syslog settings. ?
- Other configuration: You can set a web password (user = admin) and enable or disable the MQTT function. It is strongly advised to set a password for the device, if you plan to make the device accessible from the internet. ?
Extra Features
Switching via Web command for use with IFTTT or other scripts:
Additional Button Functions
The button provides the following functionalities:
- 1 x short press: Toggles the relay either directly or by sending a MQTT message. ?
- 4 x short press: Starts the Wifi manager providing an Access Point allowing the configuration of WLAN (initial configuration). The LED will blink during the config period. A single button press during this period will abort and restart the device. ?
- 6 x short press: Will restart the device. ?
- 7 x short press: Start OTA download of firmware. The LED is lit during the update. ⬆️
- Pressing the button for over twenty seconds: Reset settings to defaults and restarts the device. ⚙️
Troubleshooting
- The energy monitoring is not accurate. The device allows only an approximate measurement of the power, especially for inductive loads. If necessary, e.g. after a reset, it is possible to obtain a better result by calibration: https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Power-Monitoring-Calibration/
- Weaker Wi-Fi signal after firmware upgrade The Wi-Fi calibration needs to be deleted to force the device to re-calibrate Wi-Fi after it restarts.
- Run "reset 3" in the Console (your existing settings will not be affected).
- The device will restart.
- Cycle the power on the device (unplug and plug it).
- How to reset the energy values? You can enter these console commands to reset the values for today1 / yesterday2 / total3: "EnergyReset1 0" / "EnergyReset2 0" / "EnergyReset3 0".

The primarily purpose of this directive is the avoidance of electrical waste (WEEE) and at the same time the support of recycling and other forms of recycling in order to reduce waste. The WEEE-logo on the device and the package indicates that the device should not be disposed in the normal household garbage. You are responsible for taking the disused electrical and electronical devices to a respective collecting point. A separated collection and reasonable recycling of your electrical waste helps handling the natural resources more economical. Furthermore recycling of electrical waste is a contribution to keep the environment and thus also the health of men. Further information about disposal of electrical and electronical waste, recycling and the collection points are available in local organizations, waste management enterprises, in specialized trade and the producer of the device.
