1.0 INTRODUCTION
Installing a Home Automation solution is as easy as 1-2-3 with this Home Automation
Switch and your Apple iPhone® or iPad®!
This switch uses Bluetooth™ technology to allow for remote control of the device
using the free app and your iPhone or iPad. This provides for three valuable functions:
1. Remote Control - You can turn the switch on or off using the app. This prevents you
from having to bend over to reach the wall outlet to turn it on or off manually.
2. Multiple Timers - You can use the iPhone app to set multiple timers for control of
the power outlet. You can maintain multiple timers, which allows for a more complex
timer operations that can vary from day to day.
3. Full Automation - The switch uses the Near Field Communications standard to
allow for full automation of power outlet. By pairing your iPhone or iPad with the
switch, you can automatically power devices on or off based on the proximity of your
phone or tablet to the switch. You can use the app to fine tune the proximity range so
the right devices turn on or off as you move through your home.
