Control Center – Home Page
This is the main control and interface of uSwitch, called the “uSwitch Control Center”. The Control Center appears when
the IP address or URL assigned to a uSwitch is entered into a browser from a device that has access to that network.
The “Control Center” provides manual relay control and status information based on the various operating modes and
inputs (see operating modes in uSwitch Control Center Operating Modes section). Navigating between the uSwitch
features is done by clicking on the blue menu buttons on the left side of any uSwitch page.. The menu options for the
uSwitch are,
uSwitch Control Center, Relay Configuration, Watchdog Configuration, GPIO Configuration, Virtual
Relay Configuration, Network Configuration, Authorization Configuration, Operations Manual . There are two
levels of user operation. The Control Center home screen is accessible to anyone with the user name and password.
Configuration menus are only accessible to privileged users with a senior level password (default is ‘admin’)..
Selecting the red “Click to Turn ON” button on the “Control Center” page for a relay, energizes the selected relay forcing a
normally closed (NC) contact to open or a normally open (NO) contact to close. The button’s color will simultaneously
change from green to red (unless these colors have been modified on the Relay Configuration menu) and the button’s text
will change to “Click to Turn OFF” (unless “user assigned text” has been similarly modified).
“Relay1” and “Relay2” are factory default names assigned to the relays. These names can be changed by the user from
the Relay Configuration page (for example, “Front Door”, “Stair Lights”, etc.)
The Control Center also includes the states of the inputs (GPIO1 and GPIO2 in a round icon). GPIO1 and GPIO2 are
default names assigned to these inputs. Custom colors, names, and state text for the GPIOs can be assigned from the
GPIO Configuration Page.
