Functions

Select the desired function "Countdown", "Plan", "Cycler", "Random", "Stepping", "Geolocation"

Deduction: The device switches off or on after the set time has elapsed.

Plan: The device turns on or off at the time and day you select.

Cyclist: Set the start and end of the cycle execution (Main cycle) and the days when the cycle is to be executed. Then set the "On Time" and "Off Time". These two intervals will alternate for the duration of the set Main Cycle.

Random: If the set time interval is equal to or more than 1 hour, the socket will turn on within 2-30 minutes after the start of the set timer and turn off

within 2-30 minutes before the end of the set timer. If the set timer is less than 1 hour, the delayed on time is 2-X minutes and the delayed off time is 2-X minutes. (X= (time interval / 2) -2)

Example: You set the timer to start at 8:00 and end at 8:30. The device randomly switches on between 8:02 and 8:13. The device randomly switches off between 8:17 and 8:28.

Stepping: This function causes the device to switch off after the set time has elapsed. If this function is enabled, the countdown starts every time the device is switched on.

Geolocation: After setting the GPS location, the socket keeps track of when the sun rises/sets in that location. You can then use this changing data accurately, or in

advance, or with a delay. This program is ideal for lighting, Christmas decorations or pergolas.

Measurements

The consumption measurement is displayed in a clear graph. You can choose to view by month or by year.

You can switch between time periods.

Above the chart, the current consumption is displayed.

The daily and monthly consumption can also be found on the main screen of the smart socket.

Settings

Relay status:

After a power failure, the socket will be maintained according to the settings:
