Pairing Method:
Long press the configuration button for 3 seconds until the red LED indicator flashes red once, then short press the remote control button you want to pair for successful learning.
Clearing Method:
Long press the configuration button for 5 seconds until the red LED indicator flashes red twice, then short press the learned button corresponding to the remote controller to clear code values of all learned buttons.
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 and release. The device will then enter quick pairing mode, and you can pair again.

Common Problems
Q: Why my device stays "Offline”?
A: The newly added device needs 1-2 minutes to connect to Wi-Fi and the network. If it stays offline for a long time, please diagnose the problem using the green Wi-Fi indicator status:
The green Wi-Fi indicator quickly flashes once per second, meaning the switch failed to connect to your Wi-Fi:
- Maybe you have entered a wrong Wi-Fi password.
- Maybe there is too much distance between the switch and your router, or the environment causes interference. Consider moving closer to the router. If it fails, please add the device again.
- The 5G Wi-Fi network is not supported; only the 2.4GHz wireless network is supported.
- Maybe MAC address filtering is enabled. Please turn it off.
If none of the above methods resolve the problem, try enabling your mobile data network on your phone to create a Wi-Fi hotspot, then add the device again.
The green indicator quickly flashes twice per second, meaning your device has connected to Wi-Fi but failed to connect to the server.
Ensure your network is stable. If double flashes occur frequently, it indicates an unstable network, not a product issue. If the network is normal, try turning off the power to restart the switch.
