Measuring Voltage (V), Power consumption (W), Energy consumption (kWh), Current (A) of all connected loads.
OTA - Over-The-Air firmware update
No need for neutral: The Device can be used without neutral wire
Bypass: Bypass is required when the device is used without neutral and the load is under 5 W. Bypass could help when there is light coming from the lamp even when it is turned off.
Groups of lights: Groups of lights can be used, but they should have the same consumption (should have the same model and producer)
Operational Instructions:
Main applications
Residential
MDU (Multi Dwelling Units - apartments, condominiums, hotels, etc.)
