Smart in-line dimmer module
INSTRUCTIONS
Our smart in-line dimmer module is designed to be used with any smart hub, such as Amazon Alexa, Apple HomePod, or Google Home. It uses Matter over Thread, which means your smart home system won't be limited by the effectiveness of your Wi-Fi.
For more information, take a look at our guide to using smart switches, available on our website.
The dimmer can be dually controlled by both a retractive switch and your smart system. Alternatively, it can be wired without a switch, leaving control entirely to your voice or smartphone or tablet. Use one dimmer per circuit to control all loads on that circuit.
Features
- Matter Thread AC phase cut dimmer
- 100-240VAC wide input and output voltage

- One channel output, up to 250W
- Trailing edge dimming
- Can operate under a two-wire connection with no neutral or a three-wire connection with neutral
- Advanced microprocessor control
- Active power and energy metering functionality
- Soft-start function
- Active element: semiconductor electronic switch
- Waterproof grade: IP20
Settings
Setting the Minimum Brightness
Press and hold down the min. set button for three seconds to set minimum brightness.
- Set the dimmer to the desired brightness.
- If the current brightness value is 1%-50%, it will be set as the minimum brightness.
- If the current brightness value is 100%, the previously set minimum brightness will be deleted.
Once a minimum brightness is set, the connected load cannot be dimmed below this level.
Setting the Start Brightness
Short press the min. set button twice to set the startup brightness.
- Set the dimmer to the desired brightness.
- If the current brightness value is 1%-50%, it will be set as the startup brightness.
- If the current brightness value is 0%, the previously set startup brightness will be deleted.
Pairing Mode
After setting up your smart hub, press the reset button five times to make your dimmer discoverable. Refer to your smart system's instructions for the rest of the setup process.
- Ensure your smart hub is fully up to date before attempting to pair any modules.
- The load will flash three times to confirm the module is in pairing mode.
Retractive Switch Operation
Short press down: on/off
Long press down: brighter/dimmer
Uses twin and earth cables between switches.
Diagram Descriptions
Dimmer Module and Retractive Switch: The Corston Smart In-line Dimmer Module features a reset button and a minimum set button. It has connection terminals labeled N (Neutral), L (Live), SW (Switch), and two output terminals for the load. Regulatory markings such as CE and CAUS are visible, along with the model number '59183-Smart In Line Dimmer'. A diagram shows a retractive switch connected via twin and earth cables to the dimmer module's 'SW' terminal and the neutral/live supply lines.
Compatible Loads
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage & frequency | 100-240VAC ~ 50Hz |
| Compatible loads: Dimmable LED lamps | 200W@230V 100W@110V |
| Compatible loads: Dimmable LED drivers | 200W@230V 100W@110V |
| Compatible loads: LV halogen lighting with electronic transformers | 250W@230V 125W@110V |
| Compatible loads: Incandescent lighting, HV halogen lamps | 200W@230V 100W@110V |
Please note: if the dimmer is wired without neutral and your LED has a power output of under 20W, a bypass module can be added as an extension to enhance the dimming range. See the wiring diagrams for method two.
Wiring Methods
Method One: With Neutral
This diagram illustrates the wiring where live (L) and neutral (N) supply wires connect to the dimmer module. A retractive switch is wired to the 'SW' terminal and the neutral line. The lighting load is connected between the dimmer module's two output terminals.
Method Two: Without Neutral
This method is shown in two configurations. The first shows the dimmer module connected to live (L) and neutral (N) supply, with the retractive switch connected to 'SW' and the neutral line, and the load connected to the output terminals. The second configuration includes a bypass module connected in parallel with the lighting load, specifically when the LED power output is below 20W.
