1. Ifihan
The SAMOTECH SM309-S is a compact Zigbee retractable dimmer module designed for smart home lighting control. It allows you to wirelessly control and dim traditional incandescent, halogen, and compatible LED lights when integrated with a Zigbee hub such as Philips Hue, Home Assistant, HomeKit (via Home Assistant or Homebridge), SmartThings, or Hubitat. This module is designed for installation behind existing wall switches or within junction boxes, offering a seamless upgrade to smart lighting without replacing your current light switches.

Before proceeding, ensure you have read and understood the Alaye Aabo. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified electrician.
5.1 Wiring Diagram (No Neutral Required for Basic Operation)
The SM309-S is designed to operate without a neutral wire for basic dimming functionality, making it suitable for installations where a neutral wire is not present in the switch box. However, connecting a neutral wire (if available) can improve stability and enable router functionality within your Zigbee mesh network.
Standard Wiring (No Neutral):
- Connect the Live (L) wire from your mains supply to the 'L' terminal on the module.
- Connect the wire going to your light fixture (load) to the 'O' (Output) terminal on the module.
- Connect one terminal of your physical wall switch to the 'L' terminal on the module.
- Connect the other terminal of your physical wall switch to the 'SW' (Switch) terminal on the module.
Wiring with Neutral (Recommended for Stability and Router Functionality):
- Connect the Live (L) wire from your mains supply to the 'L' terminal on the module.
- Connect the Neutral (N) wire from your mains supply to one of the 'N' terminals on the module.
- Connect the wire going to your light fixture (load) to the 'O' (Output) terminal on the module.
- Connect one terminal of your physical wall switch to the 'L' terminal on the module.
- Connect the other terminal of your physical wall switch to the 'SW' (Switch) terminal on the module.
After wiring, carefully place the module into the electrical box, ensuring no wires are pinched and there is adequate ventilation.
5.2 Supported Load Types
The SM309-S dimmer module supports various lighting loads. Refer to the table below for detailed compatibility and power ratings. For capacitive loads like LEDs, a bypass capacitor (not included) may be required to prevent flickering or ensure stable operation at very low loads, especially in no-neutral installations.
Nọmba 5.1: Supported load types and corresponding power ranges for 100-240V~ systems. Includes Resistive, Capacitive (Fluorescent, LED), and Inductive loads.
5.3 Pipọpọ pẹlu ibudo Zigbee kan
Once the module is wired and power is restored, it will enter pairing mode (indicated by a blinking LED, if present, or by its network status in your hub's app). Follow these steps to pair the device:
- Ensure your Zigbee hub (e.g., Philips Hue Bridge, Home Assistant with Zigbee dongle, SmartThings Hub) is powered on and in pairing mode. Refer to your hub's specific instructions for enabling pairing mode.
- On the SM309-S module, press and hold the Tunto button for approximately 5-10 seconds until the device indicates it's in pairing mode (e.g., LED blinks rapidly). Alternatively, some hubs may discover the device automatically upon power-up if it's not already paired.
- Your Zigbee hub should detect the new device. Follow the on-screen prompts in your hub's application to complete the pairing process and assign the device to a room or group.
- If pairing fails, try moving the module closer to the hub or another Zigbee router device, then repeat the pairing process. You may need to power cycle the module or perform a factory reset before retrying.

6. Operating the Dimmer Module
After successful pairing, you can control the connected lights using your Zigbee hub's application or through voice commands if integrated with a voice assistant.
6.1 App Iṣakoso
Use your Zigbee hub's dedicated application (e.g., Philips Hue app, Home Assistant app, SmartThings app) to turn the lights on/off and adjust their brightness. The module will appear as a dimmable light device within your smart home system.

Nọmba 6.2: Example of the SM309-S appearing as a controllable light ("Hue white light 1") within the Philips Hue application.
6.2 Physical Wall Switch Control
If connected to a physical wall switch, you can still control the lights manually. The behavior of the physical switch (e.g., toggle, momentary push-button) can often be configured within your Zigbee hub's settings for the device.
- Yipada Yipada: A quick flip of the switch will turn the lights on/off.
- Momentary Push-Button: A short press typically toggles on/off. A long press may initiate dimming up or down, depending on configuration.
6.3 Minimum Dimming Level Adjustment (Min. Set)
The "Min. Set" adjustment allows you to set the lowest dimming level for the connected lights. This is crucial for preventing flickering or ensuring stable operation with certain LED bulbs at very low brightness. Use a small screwdriver to carefully turn the potentiometer:
- Loju aago: Increases the minimum brightness level.
- Lodi-aago Decreases the minimum brightness level.
Adjust the "Min. Set" until the lights operate smoothly without flickering at their lowest desired brightness.
7. Itọju
The SAMOTECH SM309-S dimmer module requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the device is kept dry and free from dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the module.
- Periodically check wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.
- If cleaning is necessary, disconnect power at the circuit breaker and wipe the exterior of the module with a dry, soft cloth.
