What it is:

A wireless switch kit with a transmitter that runs on mains power instead of batteries. Add a switch anywhere you have power available, even if there's no direct wiring to your load. Using long range RF technology, it works at distances up to 300 meters.

How it works:

The mains powered transmitter has an input terminal that senses whether mains level voltage is present. Any detected change of state is transmitted to the receiver.

Quick specs:

Receiver supply 100-240VAC 50/60Hz
Maximum load 6A
Receiver dimensions 73mm x 43mm x 26mm
Module dimensions 73mm x 43mm x 26mm
Wireless range 300 meters (915MHz)

Inside the box, you will find:

  • Long Range Wireless Receiver(s) with integrated relay.
  • Mains Powered Switch Module(s).
  • A Wiring Guide and Installation Instructions.

Installation options:

  •  Standalone setup: Connect the receiver directly to your lights to use wireless switches only.
    Standalone setup diagram
  • Add on to an existing switch: Connect the receiver to your current switch to use both the physical switch and wireless switch in a 2-way arrangement.
    With existing setup diagram

Quick tip: Already have a light switch? You only need the 1-transmitter kit to add another switch location for a 2-way setup. View the wiring diagram here.

Key features:

  • No WiFi needed.
  • Switch and receiver come pre-paired.
  • Order multiple transmitters to switch lights from different locations.
  • Order multiple receivers to control separate loads from the same switch.
  • Use multiple kits in the same location without interference.
  • Signal works up to 300 meters range through walls and obstacles.
  • Reliable connection with no interference from other wireless devices.

Tips for best use:

  • Contactors and relays with AC coils can emit electromagnetic noise. If you intend to use such equipment nearby, ensure that there is at least 600mm separation from the receiver.
  • Ambient temperature maximum is 45°C. Avoid enclosing the receiver with sources of heat like drivers, transformers, or luminaires.
  • Metal casings can reduce the wireless range. Where possible, avoid using metal enclosures to house the units.
  • Need to control gates or other momentary pulse loads? Contact our support team and we'll provide a special version designed for this purpose.

Great Product

Very helpful service, works exactly as described.

240vac wireless switch

Good range as long as it’s not ‘looking’ through too much reinforcing and concrete. A slight issue is if receiver powers up after transmitter switch change it won’t follow state. Perhaps this is a power saving necessity on battery but not required for mains power applications. Seems solid after 1-2 years of use in an earlier installation application.
Very good customer service and speed of shipping.

Excellent product. Excellent Service

I’ve used dozens of these devices in residential and commercial settings. The provide bomb proof reliability independently of any networks.

Great product

We needed to switch some garden lighting off an existing light switch a fair distance away from where the lights were to be installed. The remote switch allowed us to use a standard looking switch plate, tap into a different circuit close to where the lights were, and not have to run cables in a situation where we had no access.

Wiring was straight forward and installation was easy. No mucking around setting up with an app. Just wire it up and away you go. Will definitely use again.
