In this article you will discover how Nobi can integrate with the wired switching interface.
What
The wired switching interface plays two important rolls when interacting with Nobi. A wired switching interface relay is a smart module that connects to a physical light switch. It allows a traditional switch to control the Nobi Smart Light while still providing constant electricity to Nobi. The wired switching interface relay lets you control additional devices in combination with the Nobi Smart Light. For example, it can switch a second light on and off at the same time as the Nobi light or activate together with Nobi’s night lighting.
A wired switching interface (mains) is a smart module powered directly by the electrical mains. It allows a traditional switch to control the Nobi Smart Light while still providing constant electricity to Nobi. You can switch the light on or off, just like with a regular light.
You can also connect a wall switch to control the Nobi light—just like with the Nobi button—powered directly by the electrical mains. It allows a traditional switch to control the Nobi Smart Light while still providing constant electricity to Nobi. You can switch the light on or off, just like with a regular light. This setup uses the existing wall switch, as long as there is a constant power supply and enough space behind the switch.
Unlike the Nobi button, the wall switch powered by the wired switching interface relay is connected to the mains and requires no charging or maintenance. This relay is typically used when multiple lights in the same room are connected to a single wall switch. Since the Nobi light requires constant power, other lights would otherwise stay on continuously. The wired switching interface relay solves this.
Why
In rooms where multiple lights are controlled by the same switch, keeping the Nobi light powered can cause other lights to stay on all the time. The wired switching interface relay solves this by separating the control—so the Nobi light stays powered, and other lights can still be turned off.
It also adds smart control. You can have other lights follow the same behavior as Nobi—turning on or off together or syncing with night lighting.
The wall switch lets you control the Nobi light manually using the existing switch. And since it’s powered by the mains, there’s no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries.
This makes the wired switching interface relay an ideal solution when you want reliable power for the Nobi light and full control of your lighting setup.
