FAQs

What is a 'push-to-make' switch?

A 'push-to-make' switch, also known as a retractive switch, completes the electrical circuit only when you press and hold it. The circuit is broken as soon as you release the switch. This is common for things like doorbells or smart home triggers.

Can this module be used as a standard light switch?

Yes, it can function as a standard 2-way on/off switch. For smart home automation, it can be programmed for more advanced functions like dimming.

Which Soho Lighting grid plates are compatible with this module?

This module is compatible with Soho Lighting's RM and Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plates. It is not compatible with CM, EM, LT1, LT2 or LT3 Plates.

Do I need a smart home hub to use this module?

To utilize the advanced features like dimming or custom programming, a compatible smart home hub and system are required. It can function as a basic 2-way switch without a smart home system.

Can I combine this module with other types of switches on the same plate?

Yes, as long as you are using a compatible RM or Dual (RM+CM) Grid Plate, you can combine this module with other compatible grid modules (like isolators, standard switches, or indicators) to create a custom plate.

What is the colour of the inserts included with this module?

This particular module comes with a choice of black or white inserts, allowing you to match it to your aesthetic preferences or existing décor.

Is this module suitable for outdoor use?

This product is designed for indoor domestic and commercial applications. It is not rated for outdoor use unless installed within a specifically designed weatherproof enclosure.

Troubleshooting

Switch not responding

Check all wiring connections are secure and that power is supplied to the circuit. Ensure the module is correctly seated in the grid plate.

Smart home features not working

Verify the module is correctly paired with your smart home hub. Check your smart home app settings and ensure the module is assigned the correct functions. Confirm your smart home system is operational.

Module feels loose in the plate

Ensure the grid plate is securely mounted to the wall box and that the module is properly clipped or screwed into place within the plate, following the plate system's specific installation method.

Inconsistent dimming performance

Check that the connected lights are dimmable and compatible with smart control. Recalibrate the dimming function within your smart home system if possible.
