4. Installation Rules

This document describes the Vimar Connected 2-way switch, a versatile device designed to integrate into modern smart home systems, offering both Bluetooth and Zigbee connectivity options. The switch is intended to be completed with 1- or 2-module interchangeable buttons and is equipped with two interlocked relay outputs for its primary switching function. It can also be connected to existing wired multi-way/two-way switches, allowing for the integration of traditional setups into a "connected" smart home environment.

Function Description

The Connected 2-way switch serves as a control point for lighting and other loads, enabling both local and remote operation. It supports two main operating modes: Bluetooth technology and Zigbee technology, providing flexibility in how it integrates into a smart home ecosystem.

In Bluetooth technology mode, the device operates by default and allows for several functionalities. Users can recall scenarios involving lights, roller shutters, or socket outlets within the system. It can also be associated with radio control devices (e.g., Vimar art. 03925) to control the on-board actuator or recall a scenario. When used with a Vimar gateway (e.g., art. 20597-19597-16497-14597), the switch's functions can be managed locally or remotely via the View App. This mode also enables control via popular voice assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, and is compatible with Apple HomeKit. From firmware version 1.7.0 onwards, the device also functions as a repeater node for battery-operated devices (e.g., Vimar art. 03980), extending the range and reliability of the Bluetooth network.

In Zigbee technology mode, the switch can be directly associated with Zigbee gateways such as Amazon Echo Plus, Echo Show, or Echo Studio. This allows for integration into Zigbee-based smart home systems and control through the Alexa App.

The device features a front button that serves a dual purpose: controlling the connected load and acting as a configuration push button. An RGB LED provides visual feedback on the load status (customizable via the View Wireless App) and the configuration status (indicated by flashing blue).

Usage Features

The setup process for the Connected 2-way switch varies slightly depending on the chosen operating mode.

For Bluetooth configuration:

1. Users must first create an Installer account on MyVimar (online).
2. All devices in the system (including 2-way switches, actuators, thermostats, and gateways) should be wired.
3. The View Wireless App is then launched, and the user logs in with their credentials.
4. The system and its environments are created within the app.
5. Devices are associated with their respective environments, with the gateway being associated last. To associate the 2-way switch, users select "Add" (+) in the app, choose the environment, and give it a name. They then activate Bluetooth on their tablet/smartphone, approach the 2-way switch, press its button, and set the desired function.
6. For each device, users can set its function, parameters, and any accessory devices (wired or radio control).
7. The configuration is then transferred to the gateway and connected to the Wi-Fi network.
8. Finally, the system is transferred to an Administrator user (who must have created a profile on MyVimar).

For Zigbee configuration: The initial steps (1-3) are similar to Bluetooth configuration. The 2-way switch is then directly associated with Amazon Echo Plus, Echo Show, or Echo Studio.

1. To initiate pairing, the button on the 2-way switch is pressed until the LED flashes. The Zigbee software is downloaded onto the device using the View Wireless App. If the 2-way switch is not in pairing mode, cutting off and restoring power can re-enable it.
2. After conversion to Zigbee technology or a software update, the 2-way switch automatically enters pairing mode for up to 5 minutes to be recognized by the Amazon device.
3. The 2-way switch is associated with the Amazon Echo device following the voice assistant's documentation.

Setting actuator parameters in Zigbee mode:

1. Within 5 minutes of powering the device (after association with Amazon Alexa), pressing the button for 15 seconds allows selection of relay operation: one-position stable or two-position stable. The LED flashes green for two-position stable and amber for one-position stable.
2. Briefly pressing the button toggles between these two modes. Once the choice is made, pressing the button for 5 seconds confirms it. The LED flashes green three times for two-position stable or amber three times for one-position stable.
3. For one-position stable mode, pressing the button for 5 seconds sets the activation time. Briefly pressing the button activates the output and lights the LED amber permanently. At the end of the desired time, pressing the button again deactivates the output, and the LED flashes amber three times to confirm the setting.

The device's LED signaling provides clear feedback on its status:

• Normal operation (Zigbee mode): LED On (amber for Eikon, blue for Arké, green for Idea and Plana) indicates relay active; LED Off indicates relay not active.
• Configuration phase:
  • Flashing white (max 5 min): Zigbee mode active, pending voice assistant.
  • Flashing blue (max 2 min): Pending receipt of a firmware update.
  • Blue permanently lit: Device associated with the smartphone via Bluetooth.
  • Flashing green during configuration (max 5 min): Setting in two-position stable.
  • Flashing amber during configuration (max 5 min): Setting in one-position stable.
  • Amber permanently lit: One-position stable time setting.
  • Flashing green 3 times: Confirms two-position stable setting.
  • Flashing amber 3 times: Confirms one-position stable setting.
  • Flashing green quickly 3 times: Device correctly associated with the voice assistant.
  • On (amber for Eikon, blue for Arké, green for Idea and Plana): Relay active during normal operation.

The View Wireless App offers several customizable settings:

• RGB LED backlighting: Color can be selected from a default list (default: amber for Eikon, blue for Arké, green for Plana).
• LED brightness: Off, low, medium, high for active load (default: high) and for off load (default: off).
• Load status when voltage is restored: Off, on, or previous status (default: previous status).
• Relay operation: Two-position stable or one-position stable (default: two-position stable).
• One-position stable activation time: (default: 60 s).

Maintenance Features

Resetting the device: To restore factory settings, press the button for 30 seconds until the white LED flashes, within the first 5 minutes of powering the device.

Installation Rules:

• Installation must be performed by qualified persons in compliance with local electrical equipment regulations.
• The device requires interchangeable buttons and must be installed in flush or surface mounting boxes with appropriate Vimar mounting frames and cover plates.
• The relay output power circuit must be protected against overloads by a device (fuse or automatic 1-way switch) with a rated current not exceeding 10 A.
• Installation must be carried out with the system switched off. Buttons should be installed onto the switch mechanism before powering up the system.
• It is crucial that the electronic switch is powered with the same Line (L) and Neutral (N) that power the load. In multi-way/two-way switch installations, the electronic switch should always be connected to a constant power supply and installed in place of the wired two-way switch furthest from the load.

Controllable Loads: For correct load state signaling, a minimum 2 W load must be connected. The maximum loads supported are:

• 100 V~: 250 W, 50 W, 60 W, 125 VA
• 240 V~: 500 W, 100 W, 120 W, 250 VA

Important Note: When voltage returns after a power outage, the relay maintains the state it was in prior to the power supply cut-out.
