Since the SmartSwitch II devices are addressable and the address can be configured
by the user, it is possible to have multiple SmartSwitch II devices respond to the same
channel. This is useful if the user would like to distribute multiple items (garden lights,
for example) in physically different areas, but have all of them respond to the same
remote control button activation.
The network is limited to 15 devices bussed together, over a cable distance of 100m.
It is possible to provide power and signal connectivity to all 15 devices using a single
conductor for each connection (supply, ground, signal), over the full 100m of network
distance. Having said that, it is recommended that the power connections use at least
two conductors in parallel when wiring up the SmartSwitch II network. This will ensure
the bus voltage remains stable, regardless of the current drawn over the network.
