Using the Power Switch sensor as a signal repeater
In some cases, pre-existing environmental factors may affect the performance of the wireless
communication between the gateway and sensors, such as:
- Numbers of walls between the gateway and the sensor(s)
- Materials of the building structure
- Interference from unknown source
When encountering such situation, you can use the Power On/Off Switch as signal repeater to
improve the wireless transmission service range.
Please note that at any given time, after successful setup, the Power Switch repeater function can
extend the communciation for one single sensor, such as Motion Sensor, Power On/Off Switch,
Siren and Door/Window Sensor. The Power Switch will still obtain its original On/Off function after
the repeater function has been activated.
To establish the repeater function, additional between the Power Switch (repeater) and the end
Sensor will be required.
For best performance, the Power Switch (repeater) should have direct sight with the end sensor,
without any wall/obstructive objects in between.
Please follow the procedures in the 'Repeater Setup' section to complete the process.
