What
A wired switch 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 switch 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.
For a detailed description of other peripherals, go to our Types of peripherals page.
Why
Pairing the wired switch interface relay ensures that the physical switch is correctly linked to the Nobi light. Once connected, residents or care staff can continue using the wall switch to turn the light on or off — no need to change daily habits.
A wired switch interface relay acts as a smart bridge between traditional switches and smart lighting systems. It must be paired to the correct light via the Nobi mobile app before it can function properly.
Pair via the Nobi mobile app
Pairing the wired switch interface is done through the Nobi mobile app. Pairing is easy. Just follow the wizard to complete the connection. The button should be physically near the light during the process.
