RF Remote Control Pairing
RFR2 supports 433.92 MHz remote control for on/off and each channel can be learned independently, providing local wireless control over short distances rather than Wi-Fi control.
Pairing Method:
For successful learning, press and hold the configuration button for 3 seconds until the red LED indicator flashes once, then press the remote control button you wish to pair.
Deletion Method:
Press and hold the configuration button for 5 seconds until the red LED indicator flashes twice, then press the corresponding button on the remote control to erase the code values of all learned buttons.
Changing Network
If you need to change the network, press and hold the pairing button for 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi LED indicator flashes in a cycle of two short and one long flash. The device will then enter quick pairing mode, and you can proceed with further pairing.
Factory Reset
Removing the device in the eWeLink app performs a factory reset.
Common Problems
Question: Why is my device showing as "Offline"?
Answer: A newly added device needs 1 to 2 minutes to connect to Wi-Fi and the network. If it remains offline for a long time, evaluate these issues based on the status of the green Wi-Fi indicator:
-
Green Wi-Fi indicator flashes rapidly once per second: The switch failed to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
- You might have entered the wrong Wi-Fi password.
- The distance between the switch and the router is too large, or the environment causes interference. Consider moving it closer to the router. If unsuccessful, try adding it again.
- 5G Wi-Fi is not supported; only 2.4GHz wireless networks are supported.
- MAC address filtering might be enabled. Please disable it.
If none of the above methods resolve the issue, you can open the mobile data network on your phone, create a Wi-Fi hotspot, and then add the device again.
-
Green indicator flashes rapidly twice per second: The device connected to the Wi-Fi network but failed to connect to the server.
Ensure a sufficiently stable network. If double flashing occurs frequently, it indicates you are accessing an unstable network, not a product issue. If the network is normal, try turning off the power and restarting the switch.
