How to set up a “GROUP AUTOMATION”  Set up a Dimmer to wirelessly control a Relay or Socket

In some cases you may have a non dimmable lighting circuit that you wish to have smart control over. In this case you will need to wire the non-dimmable lighting source directly to one of our relays and not to the dimmer. You can then programme a spare channel of the dimmer to become a wireless switch for the relay (MAGIC SWITCH)

This wireless switching setup can be used with Lightwave relays for non dimmable lamps and even our smart plug sockets which may have a table lamp plugged into it.

The Image above is based on a retro wiring system where no neutral wire is available. As no neutral wire is available the Primary channel must be hard wired to a dimmable lighting circuit and channel 2 will automatically get power meaning it can be programmed to be a wireless wall switch for any other Lightwave devices such as relays and sockets.

STEP 1:  Please ensure that both dimmer and relay have been added to the app and name them accordingly

STEP 2:  In the app select ADD Automation and SELECT GROUP

STEP 3:  Please select SWITCH in GROUP AUTOMATION

STEP 4:  You will see a list of rooms, please select the relay/socket and dimmer channel you would like to be grouped together

STEP 5:  Save the automation and give it a name such as relay and dimmer group

Now the automation has been set up you will be able to wirelessly control the relay/socket from any spare channel of a dimmer.
