Connected dimmer, Zigbee®, 3 - 200 W, 2-wire, Swiss line
Stand-alone use
The connected dimmer, Zigbee®, Swiss line operates autonomously when it is not configured into a Niko Home Control installation, or when it is not connected to a wireless smart hub (552-00001).
Mechanical push-button extensions (170-x00xx) wired to the extension terminal can also be used in stand-alone mode.
All mechanical push-button extensions wired to the same terminal, will show the same behaviour as the connected dimmer.
It is not possible to configure the behaviour of the push-button extension switches separately.
The feedback LED will blink red when the Zigbee® device is configured into a Niko Home control installation and the RF connection to a smart hub is lost.
The device can still operate in stand-alone use, but the feedback LED only visualises the red blinking state.The firmware of a Zigbee® connected dimmer working in stand-alone mode, cannot be upgraded Over-The-Air (OTA).
