1 General Description and Specifications
1.1 General Purpose
The Mini Relay is designed to control lighting fixtures with LED or incandescent lamps.
The device is designed so that it can be installed in a box under a switch or in another
place suitable for monitoring the electrical load.
The Mini Relay is mounted on a single conductor (neutral or phase) which allows it to
be placed in any accessible area of the wiring (under a switch, at the base of a
chandelier, etc.).
The Mini Relay supports the operation of two types of switches:
•Conventional (with a fixed position);
•Pulse (bell).
Two control modes are available for each switch type via the Perenio Smart app.
To operate the Mini Relay, the following is required:
•Smartphone with Internet access and the Perenio Smart app installed;
•Perenio® Control Gateway or IoT Router connected via the Perenio Smart
app account.
See details in par. 2.3 below.
The two-channel Mini Relay device has a number of distinctive features, namely:
•Remote control, monitoring and power setting of lighting devices;
•Built-in Zigbee antenna (supports Zigbee 3.0, incl. Zigbee 1.2);
•Ability to operate as a data repeater;
•Mechanical switch of two channels for a “dry contact”;
•Manual and remote connection via the Perenio® Control Gateway / IoT Router;
•Manual reset to factory settings;
•Single LED to indicate the connection and reset statuses (“Connected”,
“Connection process”, “Reset”);
•Thermal protection;
•Switching to connection mode with one button;
•Data on the radio signal and/or the connection quality;
•Support for pulse (bell) switches.

The bypass can be connected to either line, and the load can be applied on either or
both channels.
It is not mandatory to connect the bypass to the mains if it is an incandescent lamp,
but it is necessary to connect it to the mains to control LED lights, because otherwise
malfunction of the Mini Relay may occur. The element itself, if possible, is
recommended to be placed inside the lamp so that it will not be visible and will not
spoil the view of the interior.
