SwitchBot SBT_W5502300 Shintsha I-Bot Relay Switch 1

Isingeniso

• The SwitchBot Relay Switch (W5502300) is a smart relay module designed to convert traditional, non-smart electrical devices (lights, fans, motors, etc.) into remotely controllable devices. Embedded within existing wiring, it acts as an intelligent on/off switch that can be controlled via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or integrated into smart home ecosystems (e.g. via Matter, voice assistants). The “MAX 16A” name suggests it is intended to handle loads up to 16 A for AC current. The device also has safety features like overcurrent/overload protection built in.
• According to its FCC test report, the model is indeed W5502300.
• SwitchBot markets a “Relay Switch 1” that shares many of its functions (Bluetooth repeater, local control, compatibility with smart home platforms) with this family.
• So, W5502300 is a version of or related to the “MAX 16A Relay Switch” family that SwitchBot offers.

Imininingwane

Amanothi/izixwayiso:

• The “MAX 16A” name indicates the maximum current rating under ideal conditions, but actual safe loading may be lower depending on ambient temperature, wiring quality, and installation conditions.
• Always allow a margin/safety buffer rather than loading continuously at the maximum rating.
• The DC input spec can depend on the variant; in some documentation, “DC input: 12 V” is given.

Ukusetshenziswa Nezinhlelo zokusebenza

Use Cases / Applications

• Ukulawula ukukhanya: You can place the relay inline with a light circuit (before the main switch) so that lights can be turned ON/OFF via the SwitchBot app, schedules, voice commands, or automations.
• Fans, exhausts, motors: Suitable for moderate loads (within current rating). You may control fans, ventilation systems, roller shutters (if motor rating is within limits), etc.
• Garage doors/gate motors: If the motor’s current draw is within the safe margin, you can use it to control on/off of gates or rolling doors.
• Ukuhlanganiswa kwekhaya okuhlakaniphile: Using Matter, voice assistants (Alexa, Google Home, Siri), and automation scenes, you can incorporate the relay into routines (e.g. turn off all lights at certain times).
• Bluetooth repeater role: When placed in a location, it can act as a repeater/range extender for other SwitchBot Bluetooth devices, improving connectivity in large homes.

Installation & Setup Guidance

1. Power off circuit: Always disable power (turn off breaker) before wiring.
2. Izintambo: Insert the relay in series with the live (hot) line of the load you want to control. The relay will switch that line ON/OFF. Ensure the neutral and ground remain intact as per local electrical codes.
3. Ukukhweza: The relay is small and can be placed inside junction boxes, behind switches, or within enclosures, provided there is ventilation.
4. Pairing/configuring:
   • Use the SwitchBot app to detect the relay over BLE or via Wi-Fi.
   • Set up the device in your smart home ecosystem (Matter, Alexa, etc.).
   • Define automations, schedules, scenes, or triggers.
5. Ukuhlola: After wiring and powering, test control via the app and manual switch (if present) to ensure correct behavior.
6. Ukuhlola ukuphepha: After installation, monitor for excessive heat, signs of strain, and correct function in overloading or fault conditions.

Izindlela Ezinhle Kakhulu

• Always leave a safety margin (e.g. don’t run at 16 A continuously; design for lower current).
• Use adequate wire sizing (thickness) for the load to reduce voltage drops or heating.
• Ensure enclosure ventilation so the relay does not overheat.
• Avoid placing it in extremely hot or humid locations outside its rated operating conditions.
• If uncertain about wiring, engage a qualified electrician.

Ukufakwa

Isexwayiso
Before installation, turn off the main power switch to prevent electric shock. Only begin testing or connecting cables after confirming the circuit is de-energized.

Ixhuma ku-AC Power Supply

•  Remove the exterior shell of your wall box or outlet.
• Connect the neutral wire to the N terminal, the live wire to the L terminal, and the load circuit to the O and I terminals of the Relay Switch.
• If you want to keep the control functionality of your wall box or outlet,connect its common terminal to the L terminal, and the control wire to the SW terminal of the Relay Switch.
• Then, reinstall the exterior shell of your wall box or outlet.

Turn on the power. Your Relay Switch will be discoverable within 10 minutes after powering on. Add it via our app during this time. If the connection times out, press the button on it for 2s or turn off the power and on again.

Connecting to DC Power Supply

For 24—48 V power supply:
Remove the exterior shell of your wall box or outlet. Connect the DC+ wire to the terminal, the GND wire to the L terminal, and the load circuit to the O and I terminals of the Relay Switch.

For 12 V power supply:
Remove the exterior shell of your wall box or outlet. Connect the 12 V DC+ wire to the +12V terminal, the GND wire to the L terminal, and the load circuit to the O and I terminals of the Relay Switch.

• If you want to keep the control functionality of your wall box or outlet, connect its common terminal to the terminal, and the control wire to the SW terminal of the Relay Switch. Then, reinstall the exterior shell of your wall box or outlet.
• Turn on the power. Your Relay Switch will be discoverable within 10 minutes after powering on. Add it via our app during this time. If the connection times out, press the button on it for 2s or turn off the power and on again.

Ukuphepha

1. Proper wiring & insulation: Ensure wires are correctly terminated, insulated, and securely fastened. Loose connections can cause arcing and overheating.
2. Ukuvikelwa kokulayisha ngokweqile: Do not exceed the maximum rated load (16 A AC). In case of an overload, the device’s internal protection should trip — but relying on that continuously is not advisable.
3. Thermal limits: Do not install in environments exceeding –20 °C to +40 °C or in excessive humidity (>70% RH).
4. Fire-retardant materials: The casing is designed to be flame-retardant (V0 rating) to reduce fire risk in case of internal faults.
5. Isolation and safety clearance: Maintain required clearances between live parts and earth or other conductive parts to prevent leakage or short circuits.
6. Surge / transient protection: The relay may not inherently protect against high-voltage surges or lightning. Use surge protectors or line filters if your area is prone to such events.
7. Avoid moisture/water ingress: Do not place the relay where water, condensation, or splashes might reach it. Use enclosures if outdoors.
8. Reset/fault recovery: If the device trips due to overcurrent or fault, power down, inspect the circuit, and correct the cause before restoring power.
9. Compliance & standards: Ensure your installation adheres to local electrical codes and standards. Even though the product is FCC/certification listed (W5502300 has FCC documentation) local wiring codes and protections must be respected.

Imibuzo Evame Ukubuzwa

Q2: What happens if the load exceeds 16 A or there is a short circuit?

A2: The relay should include overload/overcurrent protection, which will interrupt the circuit to protect itself and the wiring. However, this is a last line of defense, not a substitute for proper circuit protection (like fuses or breakers). Always size your circuit protection (breaker, fuse) to safely protect the wiring and the relay device. In a fault situation, power should be cut, the cause addressed, and the relay reset or replaced if damaged.
