Wirelessly Linking a Lightwave Relay and Dimmer Using a Group Automation

This article explains how to set up a Lightwave relay and dimmer to communicate wirelessly using a Group Automation in the Lightwave app, including important wiring warnings and step-by-step setup instructions.

 

✅ Before You Start

Before creating the automation:

  • Both the relay and dimmer must already be paired to the Lightwave app
  • Both devices should appear online in the app
  • The Link Plus Hub should show a solid green LED

🔗 How to Create a Group Automation

Follow these steps to make the relay and dimmer communicate wirelessly:

  1. Open the Lightwave App
  2. Tap the green + button at the bottom centre of the screen
  3. Select Automations
  4. Tap Group
  5. Select Switch
  6. Select both:
    • The Relay
    • The Dimmer
  7. Tap Next
  8. Enter a name for the automation
  9. Tap Done in the top-right corner

✅ What Happens After Setup?

Once the Group automation is created:

  • The dimmer and relay will mirror each other
  • Turning one device on or off will control the other
  • Communication happens wirelessly through the Link Plus Hub

This is ideal for setups where devices cannot be physically wired together.

💡 Additional Notes

  • Group automations require the Link Plus Hub to remain powered
  • Internet is only needed to create the automation
  • Once created, automations continue to operate locally through the hub

📞 Need Further Help?

If the relay and dimmer are not responding correctly after setup:

  • Check both devices are online in the app
  • Confirm the Link Plus LED is solid green
  • Restart the Link Plus Hub if needed
