OPERATION MANUAL
description
The Zigbee NOUS B4Z blinds module (hereinafter referred to as the switch) is intended for organizing automatic and manual control of curtains or blinds in the room, through remote access via the Internet, using a smartphone or tablet with the Nous Smart Home application installed. Communication with the switch is configured through a remote server using the P2P protocol, for which a wireless zigbee adapter is used. The switch is equipped with a mechanical button and a global indication of the device status. The device is equipped with an electromechanical relay.
NOTE: You will need a Nous E1, Nous E7 or
other Tuya compatible ZigBee gateway/hub to connect.
The connection of a smart socket to the Internet cannot be guaranteed in all cases, as it depends on many conditions: the quality of the communication channel and intermediate network equipment, the make and model of the mobile
device, the version of the operating system, etc.
