Smart Wi-Fi intermediate touch switch 1 gang module Livolo (VL-FC1SNY-2G)

💡 Switch – a standard electrical device for turning lights or other appliances on and off.

🔀 Two-way, crossover – allow control of a single light source from two or more locations. A two-way switch is used in pairs, while a crossover switch is added for three or more control points.

🌗 Dimmer – a switch with a brightness adjustment function. Works with compatible lamps.

🔲 Rocker switch – a classic mechanical switch with one or more buttons for controlling lighting.

🔘 Momentary switch – an impulse switch that returns to its original position after being pressed. Used in control systems or relays.

⏳ Timer switch – a switch with an automatic turn-off function after a set time, convenient for ventilation or lighting.

📶 Wireless switch – a switch that does not require wired connections, transmitting a signal to a relay. Used in smart systems.

💳 Card switch – a switch for hotel rooms, activated by inserting a card and automatically turning off the electricity when removed.

This is the number of sensor zones responsible for controlling separate electrical circuits.

🔹 1 sensor – controls one light source or device.
🔹 2 sensors – allow independent switching of two different circuits.
🔹 3 or more sensors – enable control of several lighting groups or other electrical devices from one switch.

Operating modes:
🔹 The switch sensor operates in an on/off mode.
🔹 The dimmer sensor supports on/off + brightness adjustment.
🔹 The non-latching touch switch operates such that the contact is closed only during touch.

This is the number of individual modules (sockets) for connecting electrical appliances in a single frame.

🔹 1 post – is one switch
🔹 2 posts – is a double switch (double frame).
🔹 3 or more posts – is a switch block with a solid frame. Maximum 5 posts.

The number of posts determines how many mounting boxes are used for installing individual modules.

This is a feature that provides convenient use of switches.

✅ Advantages:

• With its elegant design and soft light, the backlight helps easily locate the switch even at night.
• The backlight changes color: blue – the switch is off, red – the switch is on.
• Easy installation, similar to regular switches. Only the phase wire is required for connection.

This is the ability to conveniently control smart devices through a mobile app.

🔹 LIVOLO HOME – with this app, you can remotely control LIVOLO devices from your phone or tablet, create automation scenarios.

🔹 Google Home and Amazon Alexa – allow you to combine applications from different manufacturers into one.

This enables you to adjust lighting, temperature, and other functions of your home without the need for physical contact with the devices.

Controlling smart devices with voice commands is done through voice assistants Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. You can turn lights on/off, adjust the temperature, control appliances, and other LIVOLO devices simply by speaking a command.
It’s a convenient way to automate your home and manage it without spending time searching for remotes or apps.

Wireless communication technologies used to control devices in smart home systems:

EC is a modern wireless communication protocol between smart devices.

✅ Advantages:

• Easy connection, similar to regular switches. Only the phase is required for connection.
• The technology allows for easy replacement of old switches, even after renovation is complete.
• Does not require neutral (zero wire).

❌ Disadvantage:

• A gateway (or hub, also known as a gateway, hub) is needed for operation — this is a device that connects smart devices into a single system. The gateway has a range of 30-40 meters and supports the simultaneous operation of up to 112 smart devices.

Wi-Fi is a universal wireless communication standard.

✅ Advantages:

• Works directly through Wi-Fi, without the need for a gateway.

❌ Disadvantage:

• Requires a neutral wire (zero), which is not always available in the junction box.

ZigBee is a wireless communication protocol from 2004.

✅ Advantages:

• Easy connection, similar to regular switches. Only the phase is required for connection.
• The technology allows for easy replacement of old switches, even after renovation is complete.
• Does not require neutral (zero wire).

❌ Disadvantage:

• A gateway is required for the device to work. The gateway range is 10-15 meters. The coverage radius may depend on obstacles in the room, such as walls, furniture, and other electrical appliances.

They define the level of protection for electrical devices against dust and moisture penetration, which is important for their safety and longevity.

🔹IP20 is suitable for use in dry areas, such as rooms in a house or apartment, kitchen, hallway, or bedroom.

🔹IP40 is suitable for areas with low levels of dust but no exposure to moisture.

🔹IP44 is the perfect choice for bathrooms or other areas with high humidity, where accidental water splashes may occur.

These protection ratings ensure the reliability and safety of devices in environments where there may be some level of contamination or moisture.

When choosing electrical fittings, it is important to consider the installation method. There are two main types of installation:

🔹 Flush installation – switches are mounted into special installation boxes embedded in the wall.

🔹 Surface-mounted installation – switches are installed on top of the wall without recessing, using special casings.

⚡ Mechanical relay – closes the electrical circuit using the moving contacts of the relay.

🔇 Solid-state relay (TRIAC) – operates based on semiconductor TRIAC. Provides silent operation.

👆 Mechanical switch – the contact is closed manually by pressing the button.
