User questions & answers

Question:	Is this a cloud-dependent? or local-dependent
Answer:	This essentially IS a smartthings hub. Whatever you could do that that, you can do with this. I would look into range extenders first, because they are less expensive than adding a second hub. Also, as a mesh network, adding devices extend the network because they act as repeaters. However, adding zwave devices does not extend the zigbee mesh nor visa versa.
Question:	Does this have the new z wave gen 700 series chip in it
Answer:	Per an answer on the Apple iPhone forum:"The iPhone will support 24 bit but only up to 48kHz. Unfortunately, Apple is being left behind by other devices that will support 96kHz and 192kHz files." (https://www.apple.com/shop/question/answers/readonly/tag/iphone/does-the-iphone-6-supports-24-bit-192khz-aiff-or-alac-audio/QUFJTHJ7JC9KKKDYJ)This has a direct correlation to the lighting Connection's ability to output at 24bits/192kHz.
Question:	Is this still a mesh wifi router like the smartthings hub? Can you add more than one to your network to extend the range
Answer:	The 3.5mm jack version is just a pair of IEMs (in-ear-monitors) with in-line microphone and basic controls and is an analog connection fed from your source’s DAC (digital to analog converter) and powered your source’s amplifier. The Lightning version receives the audio data from the phone in digital format, so it also has to have its own DAC (digital to analog) converter and a signal amplifier to drive the IEMs because it cannot rely on your phone’s/source’s.

Neutral Wire Must Have

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does it need a neutral line? How could I know whether there is a neutral line？

Yes, it needs a neutral line.

The best way is to check the actual wires in the switch box, the neutral line is often going to be colored white, but it also may be other colors.

If there are multi-gang switches, that has a much higher likelihood of having neutrals.

If there is a wall outlet near the switch, most likely that switch box has a neutral.

If your house was built in the mid-1980s or later, there is an excellent chance that you have neutral lines in the box.

2. What is the difference between the single-pole switch, dimmer switch, and the 3-way switch?

The single-pole switch is designed to turn on/off the light at only 1 place, but could not control the fan speed or light brightness.

The dimmer switch is designed to turn on/off the light at only 1 place, besides, it also could control the fan speed or light brightness.

The 3-way switch is designed to turn on/off the light at 2 places, but could not control the speed and brightness. The 3-way switch also could be used as the single-pole switch.

3.I have a dual wifi router, How could I use it?

The smart switch needs 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi only, not suitable for 5Ghz

If it broadcast only 1 signal, you will need to go to the Wi-Fi management and create a 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi signal first, choose it and enter the password.

If it is broadcasting both signals, the 5G signal will be ignored. You’ll just choose the 2.4Ghz WIFI and enter the password of it.

Note:The wire color of each version is a little different, the name of the wire could easily be found at the wire port. If you meet any questions, feel free to get help from us.

User questions & answers

Question:	How many devices will it handle? Is there a page with more detailed specs
Answer:	Having set up hubs before I would say no. It is very difficult to get even simple rules to work. For instance, you can set up a riles that if a light goes on that you want it shut off immediately but not after 10 minutes. You can easily make it go back on after a delay if it goes off but not the reverse. I seen no reason for wanting that but it is what it says. Fir instance, Lutron Integration. You have to go you your Lutron Bridge and export a list. The find what ID number on it corresponds to what remote or switch the manually enter the ID number and description. The instructions just tell you to export it but not where, etc. It is really exporting nothing. It make a text script which the hub cannot import. You have to print it out and manually enter the information even though they are connected to each other via a local telnet which you must also enable vie the Lutron software. If you did not follow all this the definitely do not get it because this is just the "easy" part. Nothing is intuitive, you also have to use "UPDATE" buttons a lot and hitting the done button makes new rules not appear. You have yo exit to the AppList instead. Suddenly it was there. The "done" button only works when modifying existing rules not to create new ones. You have to create one the exit then you can go back and finish editing it. You have to add tons of Apps most of which you have no clue about. I had to add what was described as a developer App to use the mobile software. Fortunately, after going back to the hub and adding the App. Never do anything else when adding one. Create one later. Juts hit done or ot will not be added. Then I went to the mobile app which ran. I followed the prompts and it went into an endless loop trying to find the hub. I then had to uninstall the mobile App, re-install it, try again using a LAN search option and I was finally connected. The Apps list on the screen adjust to your phones width but not dashboards so you have to know how to use CSS to make dashboards work. Does all this sound like how a novice begins to set up a hub. With Wink 2 I just clicked on things, super easy. Too bad it is now a subscription service. They never made a local app. Hubitat uses a localhost like with a router. Did you get all this?
Question:	Are there apps for ipad, iphone and apple watch
Answer:	Quite honestly, this was not a good buy and it is a waste of money. It's just a gimmick. I put them under kitchen cabinets. The lights are starting to dim now and not as bright even when I push the button for more light. Each puck takes 3 aaa batteries and if you use the whole box of pucks do your math on the cost of batteries for the whole year ( 365 days ) to use these gimmicks. And because of that I hope this company does not make any money because you will be spending alot of money on batteries.
Question:	Does this work with Amazon Alexa
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can this be setup by a novice with no working knowledge of the smart hub? I dont know much about IO but working to learn
Answer:	You can not use any LED light to grow plants. LEDs have many different industrial applications, so they're not all suited for plant growing. To grow plants successfully using LEDs, you need LED grow lights that emit a specific color spectrum and a sufficient intensity level.
