To make programming the SWITCH Works module easier, we recommend mapping your
accessories with the cheat sheet below. Determine which accessory you're connecting to
each individual output; which button you want to control the output (button used is not
determined by output location); and, which function you want to achieve for the output
(ON/OFF, Strobe, etc.).
