Frequently Asked Questions - HmIPBSMI Homematic IP

How to install the Homematic IP HmIPBSMI switching module?

Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician. First, turn off the circuit breaker, then remove the existing switch. Connect the module according to the wiring diagrams (two-way, cross, etc.) observing terminals L, N, 1, 2. Mount the supplied adapter, screw the module into the flush-mounted box, then replace the frame and rocker. Then, perform the pairing via the Homematic IP app.

What are the prerequisites for installation?

You must have electrical knowledge (the 5 safety rules). The flush-mounted box must conform to DIN 49073-1, Legrand Batibox or Agro. The device requires a neutral conductor (N) and a 230 V / 50 Hz power supply. Use solid or flexible cables from 0.75 to 2.5 mm².

How to pair the device to the Homematic IP Access Point?

After installation, open the Homematic IP app, select 'Add device'. The pairing mode is active for 3 minutes. If needed, reactivate it by briefly pressing the system button (A) with a pointed object. Enter the last 4 digits of the SGTIN or scan the QR code. Confirm in the app. The green LED confirms success.

What to do if the LED flashes red after a command?

A long red flash indicates a failed operation or a duty cycle limit reached. Check that the receiver is reachable, and there is no overload or blockage. Wait until transmission is possible (max 1 h for duty cycle). If the problem persists, refer to the 'Error correction' section of the manual.

How to reset the HmIPBSMI to factory settings?

Remove the rocker. Press the system button (A) with a pointed object for 4 seconds until rapid orange flashing. Release, then press again for 4 seconds until green LED. Release to finish. The device restarts and you can reintegrate it into the system.

3 Function and device overview

The Homematic IP Switch Module for brand switches is suitable for installation in a flush-mounting box for switches from a wide range of manufacturers. Once installed, the device switches a connected load (e.g. a lamp) on and off and measures the energy consumption.

The Switch Module enables connected loads to be easily controlled using the switch's push-button rocker, via wireless remote control or the Homematic IP app.

Using the app, you can always get an overview of the energy consumption and costs of connected loads.

The adapters for different switches allow you to replace switches made by popular manufacturers with an intelligent Homematic IP installation. Using existing or planned switches and cabling reduces the cost of installation to a minimum. The design, colour and finish of switches that have already been installed does not change, since existing frames and rockers can continue to be used.

7 Troubleshooting

7.1 Command not confirmed

If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, the device LED (A) lights up red at the end of the failed transmission process. The failed transmission may be caused by radio interference (see see "10 General information about radio operation" on page 39). This may be caused by the following:

• Receiver cannot be reached.
• Receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.).
• Receiver is faulty.

7.2 Duty cycle

The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. The aim of this regulation is to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range.

In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction comes to an end. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation. During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached. However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by one long red lighting of the device LED (A), and may manifest itself in the device temporarily not working. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

7.3 Automatic disconnection in case of overload

If the device is overloaded with load currents greater than 6 A or with loads with more than 1380 W power, after a short delay time, this leads to the Switch Module's automatic disconnection. The safety disconnection is reported with an error message via the app or WebUI.

To be able to use the device again, you must remove the overload and disconnect the device from the mains and then reconnect it. Alternatively, you can wait 30 minutes after removing the overload ("restart lock"). The Switch Module can then be switched on again. The Switch Module is not automatically switched on after the restart lock has expired.

7.4 Error codes and flashing sequences

Flashing code Meaning	Solution
Short orange flash-ing	Radio transmission/attempting to transmit/data transmission	Wait until the transmission is completed.
1x long green flash Transmision con-firmed	You can continue operation.
1x long red flash Transmision failed or duty cycle limit is reached	Please try again (see „7.1 Command not confirmed" on page 36 or see „7.2 Duty cycle" on page 37).

6x long red flashes Device defective Please	see your app for error message or contact your retailer.
1x orange and 1x green flash	Test display You can	continue once the test display has stopped.

8 Restoring factory settings

The device's factory settings can be restored. If you do this, you will lose all your settings.

To restore the factory settings of the device, please proceed as follows:

• Remove the rocker (if necessary).
• Press and hold down the system button (A) for 4 s with a pointed object (e.g. a pen) until the LED will start flashing orange quickly (see figure 12).
• Release the system button.
• Press and hold down the system button again for 4 seconds, until the LED lights up green (see figure 13).
• Release the system button again to conclude the procedure.

The device will perform a restart. After the restart, you can again integrate your device into your Homematic IP system.

9 Maintenance and cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance. Enlist the help of an expert to carry out any repairs.

The mains voltage must be disconnected before the device is removed (trip the miniature circuit-breaker). Only qualified electricians (to VDE 0100) are permitted to carry out work on the 230V mains.

Clean the device using a soft, lint-free cloth that is clean and dry. Do not use any detergents containing solvents, as they could corrode the plastic housing and label.

10 General information about radio operation

Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors or defective electrical devices.

The range of transmission within buildings can differ greatly from that available in the open air. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinity have an important role to play, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.

Hereby, eQ-3 AG, Maiburger Str. 29, 26789 Leer/Germany declares that the radio equipment type Homematic IP HmIP-WUA is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following internet address: www.homematic-ip.com
