Download the Finder app on your NFC-enabled smartphone. Ensure NFC is turned on. Open the app, select your device, and follow the on-screen prompts to configure settings. Then, hold your smartphone near the NFC symbol on the switch to transfer the settings.
Astro-switching automatically adjusts to sunrise and sunset times based on your geographical location. This is highly energy-efficient for lighting, as it ensures lights are only on when needed, without manual adjustments for changing day lengths throughout the year.
The internal, removable battery provides a power reserve of up to 6 years. This ensures that your programmed settings are maintained even during power outages.
The device supports astronomical time control for 16 European countries using postal codes. For locations outside these countries, you will need to manually input latitude and longitude coordinates for astronomical timing.
During setup, you can select a time difference (offset) for both the Astro ON and Astro OFF functions. This allows you to specify, for example, that the lights should turn on 15 minutes after sunset or turn off 30 minutes before sunrise.
