Support to configure whether you want the relay to turn on or off automatically after a power outage.

In wireless switch mode on a relay, you control the relay's switching mechanism wirelessly, typically using a remote, smartphone app, or through an automation platform like Home Assistant. This setup allows you to toggle the relay (turn it on or off) without needing a physical connection to a traditional switch or button.

Switching mode without providing power, just making or breaking connections.

Dry contact mode is used for low-voltage control signals and interfacing with other control systems.

Switching mode that provides power to the connected load.

Wet contact mode directly powers connected devices, suitable for lights, fans, and appliances.

Interlock mode in a relay system refers to a safety mechanism that prevents multiple relays from being activated at the same time, typically to avoid conflicting operations. This mode ensures that if one relay is activated, all others are automatically deactivated, enforcing a mutual exclusion among relays.

For example, in a setup controlling multiple devices (like motors or lights), interlock mode would ensure that only one device is powered on at a time. This is especially useful in cases where activating more than one relay simultaneously could cause damage or unsafe conditions, such as in motor control where activating both forward and reverse directions at once could cause a short circuit or mechanical damage.

Cover/roller mode refers to controlling devices like blinds, shades, or shutters. It is commonly used in home automation systems for managing motorized window coverings. In this mode, relays are used to control the direction of the motor (up or down, open or close), and sometimes stop positions, allowing for precise control over the position of the cover.

Mounting system compatible with standard DIN rails in electrical panels.

DIN rail mounting enables professional installation in electrical distribution panels.

Physical button for manually controlling the device without using apps.

Manual controls provide backup operation when Wi-Fi is unavailable or for quick local control.

Automations can trigger other smart devices, send notifications, or adjust settings without manual intervention.

A Zigbee Router (or Repeater) is a Zigbee device that stays powered all the time and helps extend and stabilize your Zigbee network by relaying messages between devices.

It acts as a repeating node in the Zigbee mesh, allowing signals to travel farther through multi-hop routing.

Over-The-Air firmware updates for adding features and fixing issues.

OTA updates ensure your device stays current with the latest features and security improvements.

It keeps working, and can be controlled from inside your own network, when the internet is down: over Zigbee, Z-Wave or Thread through a local hub, a native Matter or HomeKit connection, a documented local API or an official local integration.

A product without local control stops answering during an internet outage and depends on the maker's servers staying online.

A dedicated mode that drives a roller shutter, blind or curtain motor: two outputs that never close together, open, close and stop from the wall buttons and, on most models, a position in percent after calibration.

Without it, two channels with interlock can still drive a motor, but with no position and no calibration.
