Important Notes:

  • If S1/S2 are not connected to a mechanical switch, the device will still function normally.
  • If S1/S2 are connected to a physical light switch, the corresponding working mode must be selected in the eWeLink APP for normal use.
  • For electrical installation safety, it is essential to install a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or Residual Current operated Circuit-breaker with Integral Overcurrent protection (RCBO) rated at 15A before the DUALR3/DUALR3 Lite.

Compatible Pairing Mode

If Bluetooth pairing fails, try 'Compatible Mode'. Long-press the pairing button for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator shows two short flashes and one long flash. Then, long-press the pairing button again for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator flashes quickly. The device will enter Compatible Pairing Mode.

For Android System:

In the app, tap '+', select 'Add Device', then choose 'Compatible Mode'. Connect your mobile device to the Wi-Fi SSID 'ITEAD-******' with password '12345678'. Return to the eWeLink app and tap 'Next' to complete pairing.

For iOS System:

When the device is in compatible mode, find the Wi-Fi list on your mobile phone and record the device ID (ITEAD-**********, the last 10 digits). In the eWeLink app, tap '+', select 'Scan', then tap 'Manual Input' at the bottom of the screen, and enter the recorded device ID. Tap 'Next' to complete pairing.

Working Mode

After pairing, select the corresponding mode from switch, motor, and meter modes according to the connected device.

  • Switch Mode: Control two output loads independently.
  • Motor Mode: Suitable for four-wire tubular motors such as curtain and roller blind motors.
  • Meter Mode (DUALR3): The relay remains on and cannot be turned off. This mode focuses on power metering.

Switch Network

If you need to change the network, long-press the pairing button for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator changes in a cycle of two short and one long flash. Release the button, and the device enters Bluetooth pairing mode, allowing you to pair again.

Common Problems

Fail to pair Wi-Fi devices with eWeLink APP

  1. Ensure the device is in pairing mode. The device exits pairing mode automatically if not paired within 3 minutes.
  2. Turn on location services on your mobile phone and grant permission. Location information is needed to obtain the Wi-Fi list. If location is disabled, the device cannot be added.
  3. Ensure your Wi-Fi network runs on the 2.4GHz band.
  4. Enter the correct Wi-Fi SSID and password. Avoid special characters, as they can cause pairing failures.
  5. For better signal transmission during pairing, place the device close to the router.
  6. Try pairing the device in compatible mode.

Wi-Fi devices "Offline" issues

Check the Wi-Fi LED indicator status:

  • LED blinking once every 2 seconds indicates failure to connect to the router.
  • Ensure correct Wi-Fi SSID and password entry, without special characters (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic characters) which the system may not recognize.
  • Check if your router has a low carrying capacity or if the Wi-Fi signal is weak due to distance or obstacles.
  • Verify the device's MAC address is not on your router's MAC management blacklist.

LED indicator flashes twice on repeated means you fail to connect to the server.

  1. Ensure your internet connection is normal.
  2. Check if your router's device limit has been reached. Remove devices or use a router with higher capacity if necessary.
  3. Contact your ISP to confirm server addresses are not blocked:
    • cn-disp.coolkit.cc (China Mainland)
    • as-disp.coolkit.cc (Asia except China)
    • eu-disp.coolkit.cc (EU)
    • us-disp.coolkit.cc (US)

If problems persist, submit an issue via 'Help & Feedback' in the eWeLink App.
