1 Purpose and Functions
The Sonoff Touch light switch (model ACTii AC4472) is a modern, intelligent lighting control device that combines the elegance of a glass touch panel with advanced wireless WiFi technology. The device allows for remote switching on and off of any 230V electrical appliances from anywhere in the world using a mobile application for Android and iOS systems. Thanks to integration with the CLOUD service, the switch does not require a static IP address and works stably even on GSM networks or with a dynamic IP address.
Main features:
- ✔ WIFI switch controlled by Android phone or iPhone
- ✔ Comprehensive robust control software
- ✔ Advanced time programming (Timer)
- ✔ Ability to create scenes (simultaneous switching of multiple switches)
- ✔ Solid construction with an elegant glass front panel
- ✔ Ability to connect any 230V powered devices
- ✔ Full integration with Amazon Alexa voice assistant
- ✔ Compatibility with Google Nest and scenario creation based on sensors
Control and automation capabilities:
The device is a key element of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, offering the user full control over home equipment:
- Remote access: Connection to the router via WiFi allows operation of the device from anywhere via the Internet.
- Timer: Allows for setting precise schedules (day, month, year) and cyclic actions (e.g., daily at a specific time). The timer works independently of the mobile application once configured.
- Real-time status: The mobile application displays the current status of the switch (on/off) and WiFi connection parameters.
- Manual control: The glass panel has a touch button enabling traditional manual lighting control.
