Zigbee Receiver 240v This is a mains-side control unit. It wires into the 240V supply and controls the circuit feeding your lighting. What it controls Match this unit to the strip you intend to run. Havit build these controllers for particular channel layouts, and the layout has to agree at both ends - a controller and a strip that disagree will drive the wrong channels or leave some of them dead. If you are not certain what your strip is, our team at Lights For You can confirm it from the part number before you order. Control protocol It works over Zigbee. Zigbee is a wireless mesh protocol. Units relay for one another, so range grows as more are added rather than depending on a single point. ⚠ Every part of the chain has to speak the same protocol. Mixing systems is the most common reason a control setup does not respond as expected. Living with a mains control A mains-side control switches the circuit itself, which makes it the most robust place to put control - there is no low-voltage signal path to go wrong, and nothing downstream needs to understand it. It also means the whole circuit behaves as one. That is an advantage where a room should simply come on together, and a limitation where parts of it need to be controlled separately. ⚠ Check the wall box depth before ordering. A control with electronics behind its face needs more room than the switch it replaces, and that is the most common reason one will not fit. Think about who else uses the room. A control only one person understands is a control that gets worked around - somebody will leave the circuit permanently on rather than learn it, which undoes the point of fitting it. Where a dimmer is involved, test the full range with the actual fittings before signing the job off. Dimming faults show at the bottom of the range rather than the top, and a circuit that dims smoothly to half and then flickers is a compatibility problem rather than a faulty unit. Specification notes ⚠ At IP20 this unit has no weather protection. It must be installed in a permanently dry location - indoors, inside a cavity or in a cupboard, never outside or anywhere it could see condensation. Installation This unit connects to mains and must be installed by a licensed electrician. It fits a standard wall position, so in most cases it takes the place of an existing switch rather than needing new wiring runs. Frequently asked questions Does this power the lights on its own?It controls the circuit, but the lighting still needs whatever supply it normally uses. A low-voltage run also needs its driver. What system do I need to run it?Something that speaks Zigbee. Every part of the chain has to use the same protocol. Can it go outside?No. At IP20 it has no weather protection and has to stay in a permanently dry location. Do I need an electrician?Yes. This unit connects to mains, which is licensed electrical work in Australia. What warranty does it carry?3 Years*
