6.1 Diagrama de cableado

AVISO: Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding with wiring. If you are not comfortable with electrical wiring, please consult a qualified electrician.

The SM308-2CH module has terminals for Line (L), Neutral (N), and two switch inputs (S1, S2) and two load outputs (L1, L2). Connect according to the diagram below:

Figure 2: Typical Wiring Diagram for SM308-2CH

• L: Live input from mains.
• N: Neutral input from mains.
• L1: Switched Live output for Load 1.
• L2: Switched Live output for Load 2.
• S1: Input for external switch 1 (connected to Live for control).
• S2: Input for external switch 2 (connected to Live for control).

6.2 Pairing with a Zigbee Gateway (e.g., Philips Hue)

Once the module is wired and power is restored, you can pair it with your Zigbee gateway:

1. Ensure your Zigbee gateway (e.g., Philips Hue Bridge) is powered on and connected to your network.
2. Open your Zigbee gateway's application (e.g., Philips Hue app).
3. Navigate to the "Add Device" or "Add Light" section within the app.
4. On the SM308-2CH module, locate the "Reset" button. Press the "Reset" button catro veces quickly. The module's indicator light should start blinking, indicating it is in pairing mode.
5. The app should detect the new device. For the SM308-2CH, it will typically appear as two separate "lights" or switches, one for each channel.
6. Follow the on-screen prompts in your app to complete the pairing process and assign names to your new switches.

Note: For other Zigbee gateways (Home Assistant, SmartThings, Hubitat), the pairing process will be similar. Refer to your specific gateway's documentation for detailed instructions on adding new Zigbee devices.

6.3 Touchlink Commissioning

The module supports Touchlink for direct pairing with a Zigbee remote control without a gateway. To initiate Touchlink:

1. Bring the Zigbee remote control within 10 cm of the SM308-2CH module.
2. Initiate Touchlink on your remote control (refer to the remote's manual for specific instructions).
3. The module and remote should pair directly, allowing the remote to control the module's outputs.

7. Instrucións de funcionamento

Once installed and paired, the SAMOTECH SM308-2CH module can be operated in several ways:

• Via Zigbee Gateway App: Use your smart home app (e.g., Philips Hue, Home Assistant) to turn the connected lights or appliances ON/OFF for each channel independently.
• Control de voz: If integrated with a voice assistant (e.g., Siri via HomeKit, Google Assistant, Alexa), you can use voice commands to control the connected devices.
• External Wall Switch: If wired to traditional wall switches (S1, S2 terminals), you can use these physical switches to toggle the connected loads ON/OFF.
• Zigbee Remote Control: If paired via Touchlink or the gateway, a Zigbee remote can directly control the module.

7.1 Power and Energy Monitoring

The SM308-2CH module provides active power and energy consumption data. This information can typically be viewed within your Zigbee gateway's application, allowing you to monitor the energy usage of the connected devices.

8. Mantemento

The SAMOTECH SM308-2CH module requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Limpeza: Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the module. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Ambiente: Ensure the module is installed in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture.
• Actualizacións de firmware: Periodically check your Zigbee gateway's application for any available firmware updates for the module. Updates can improve performance and add new features.
• Comprobacións periódicas: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections to ensure they are secure.
