How to install a Smart Mini Relay (LP82)

This article guides you through the preparation, installation, and setup of the Lightwave Smart Mini Relay (LP82) , including tips for wiring, use cases, and pulse mode configuration.

⚙️ Overview

The Smart Mini Relay is a highly adaptable device ideal for remotely controlling electrical circuits, including those for extractor fans, blinds, curtains, gates, garage doors, and non-dimmable lighting. It offers three latching positions—perfect for applications requiring open/stop/close and on/off,  functionality.


🧰 Key Features

  • Supports mains-powered and volts-free (low voltage) switching

  • Capable of switching loads up to 500W

  • Can supply power directly to the circuit (refer to wiring instructions)

  • Must be installed in a Class II-compliant enclosure for safety

  • Includes a Pulse Mode for blinds, shutters, garage doors, and gates

💡 Commonly used for circuits exceeding the wattage limit of a dimmer or for non-dimmable circuits.


🛠️ Installation Guide

1. Preparation

1.1 Choose a suitable location for the relay that ensures safety and prevents accidental contact with live electrical parts.
1.2 Turn off mains power at the consumer unit.
1.3 The relay requires mains power to function—even when used for volts-free applications.

2. Wiring the Relay

  • Connect Live  and Neutral power cables to the relay.

📌 Be aware that existing cables may not be color-coded correctly. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.


🔁 Pulse Mode for Controlled Devices

Some appliances, such as blinds, garage doors, and gates, require a pulse signal rather than a constant switch. The Pulse Mode simulates a momentary button press.

How It Works:

  • Pulse duration can be set in the app (0.5 to 6 seconds)

  • After sending the pulse (Open or Close), the relay disengages

  • The app will display the last selected state, but the contacts return to neutral

🔍 Always consult your controller's manual to verify compatibility with pulse input.
