- Cableado: Connect the module according to the provided wiring diagram (refer to product packaging or manufacturer's website for detailed diagrams). Ensure correct connection of Live (L), Neutral (N), and Output (OUT) wires. The module requires a neutral wire.
- Colocación: For initial setup, place the device as close as possible to your Zigbee hub to ensure a strong signal for pairing.
- Iniciar o modo de emparellamento:
- For SM308/SM309 models: Press the reset button 5 times rapidly.
- For SM314 models: Press the reset button twice. A blue LED flashing indicates the device is ready for pairing.
- For MS104Z models: Turn the device on 5 times. A beep sound indicates the device is ready for pairing.
- Pairing with Zigbee Hub:
- Amazon Echo Plus/Echo Show 2nd Gen: Ask Alexa to "discover new devices."
- Philips Hue: Add a new light through the Hue app: Settings -> Light setup -> Add light (SM308, SM309, SM314 only). Note: Pairing with Philips Hue may require a "Touch Link" procedure, where the module is brought very close to the Hue Bridge during pairing.
- Other Compatible Zigbee Hubs (Home Assistant, Homekit, SmartThings, Hubitat): Follow your specific hub's instructions for adding new Zigbee devices.
- Proba: Once paired, test the dimmer functionality through your Zigbee hub's application or voice commands.
5. Instrucións de funcionamento
Once the SAMOTECH Zigbee Dimmer Module is successfully installed and paired with your Zigbee hub, you can control your connected lights using the hub's interface, associated smart switches, or voice commands (if integrated with a voice assistant).
- Control On/Off: Use your Zigbee app or voice assistant to turn the connected lights on or off.
- Control de atenuación: Adjust the brightness level of the connected lights through your Zigbee app's dimmer slider or specific voice commands (e.g., "Set brightness to 50%").
- Scene and Automation: Integrate the dimmer module into scenes, routines, or automations within your Zigbee ecosystem for advanced control based on schedules, sensor triggers, or other smart home events.
- Physical Switch Control: If a retractive (momentary) light switch is connected to the module's input (S1/COM), you can use it to toggle the lights on/off and, in some configurations, dim them by holding the switch.

7 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Module does not pair with hub. | Not in pairing mode; too far from hub; hub compatibility issue. | Ensure module is in pairing mode (press reset button 5 times). Move module closer to hub for initial pairing. Verify hub compatibility. |
| Lights do not respond to commands. | No power to module; incorrect wiring; module not properly paired. | Check circuit breaker. Verify wiring connections. Re-pair the module with the hub. |
| Dimming is erratic or lights flicker. | Incompatible load type; minimum load not met; faulty bulb. | Ensure connected bulbs are dimmable. Check if the total wattage of connected bulbs meets the module's minimum load requirement. Try a different dimmable bulb. |
| Module frequently goes offline. | Weak Zigbee signal; interference; too many devices on network. | Improve Zigbee network mesh by adding more Zigbee devices (routers). Reduce interference from Wi-Fi or other wireless devices. |
