Usage Recommendations
Use the scheduling function to automate evening and morning scenes. For homes with multiple dimmers on the same circuit, verify compatible wiring arrangements and match the load type to the specified wattages for LED and incandescent lamps. Note that the switch operates only on 2.4 GHz networks, so dual-band routers may need separate configuration if 5 GHz is currently prioritized. 🚧
