FAQs

What is a retractive switch?

A retractive switch (also known as a momentary switch) remains in its position only as long as it is being actuated. It's commonly used in smart home systems where a press triggers an action, rather than maintaining a circuit's state.

Can I use this switch to control a standard light?

No, this switch is designed for smart home systems or requires a specific driver pack. It cannot directly control a standard mains-powered light without these additional components.

What does '2 Gang' mean?

'2 Gang' means the switch plate has controls for two separate circuits or functions. Each function is operated by its own retractive switch mechanism.

How do I assemble the components?

The grid switches and plate are designed to clip together. Components are supplied separately for custom installation, allowing you to decide the order and configuration.

What is the warranty period?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

What are the dimensions of the switch plate?

The dimensions are H 86mm x W 86mm, which is a standard UK faceplate size.

Is this switch suitable for outdoor use?

No, this switch is designed for indoor use only. It does not have an IP rating for weather resistance.

Troubleshooting

Switch not responding

Verify that the switch is correctly wired to a functional smart home system or driver pack. Check power supply to the smart system.

Only one gang is working

Check the wiring and configuration for the non-functional gang within your smart home system. Ensure it is properly assigned a command.

Appears loose on the wall

Ensure the wall box is secure and the switch plate is properly screwed into the box. Check that all modular components are firmly clipped together.

Intermittent operation

Inspect wiring for any loose connections. Ensure the smart home system or driver pack is stable and has adequate power.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sleek, modern screwless aesthetic
  • Robust and durable metal build
  • Flexible installation with modular grid components
  • Essential for integrating with smart home systems
  • Suitable for door entry systems and advanced controls

Cons

  • Requires a separate smart home system or driver pack to operate
  • Not a standalone light switch; necessitates additional components
  • Installation requires familiarity with smart home wiring
  • Components supplied separately, adding an assembly step

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Plan Configuration: Determine the desired sequence and function for each of the two gangs.
  2. Assemble Components: Mount the grid switches onto the plate in your chosen order. This is typically done by clipping them into the modular frame.
  3. Wiring: Connect the switch according to the specific requirements of your smart home system or driver pack. This often involves low-voltage wiring. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with smart home wiring.
  4. Mounting: Secure the assembled plate to the wall-mounted back box.

Compatibility:

  • Essential: Must be used with a compatible smart home system (e.g., KNX, Control4, Crestron) or a dedicated driver pack designed for retractive switches.
  • Not Compatible: Cannot be used as a standard mains light switch without the required smart system or driver.

Care:

  • Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents to maintain the finish.
  • Ensure connections remain dry and free from dust.
