5.2.1. Wiring for Single MINI R3

Figure 7: Wiring diagram for a single MINI R3 (top left) and for one MINI R3 with multiple S-MATE devices (bottom).

For a single MINI R3 installation, connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires to the input terminals. Connect the load (e.g., light bulb) to the output terminals (Lout and N).

5.2.2. Wiring for S-MATE with MINI R3

Figure 8: Wiring diagram for one S-MATE controlling three MINI R3 units.

When using S-MATE with MINI R3, the S-MATE connects to your existing wall switch and communicates wirelessly with the MINIR3. The L/L1/L2/L3 terminals on S-MATE are used as terminal blocks for easier installation; leave them out if not needed. The S-MATE does not require a neutral wire as it is battery-powered.

6. การดำเนินการ

6.1. การควบคุมแอป (eWeLink)

Once paired, you can control your MINIR3 and connected devices from anywhere using the eWeLink app on your smartphone or tablet. The app provides real-time sync status of your appliances, allowing you to turn them on/off, set schedules, and monitor their status.

6.2. การควบคุมด้วยเสียง

The MINIR3 is compatible with popular voice assistants, allowing for hands-free control of your smart devices. Simply connect your eWeLink account to your preferred voice assistant platform.

• อเมซอนอเล็กซา: "Alexa, turn off the lights."
• ผู้ช่วย Google Home: "Hey Google, turn on the fan."
• ทางลัดของ Siri: Use custom Siri shortcuts for quick commands. (Note: MINI R3 does not support Homekit temporarily.)
• อลิซ: Integrate with Alice for voice commands.

7. การบำรุงรักษา

• การทำความสะอาด: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Battery Replacement (S-MATE): The S-MATE is powered by a CR2032 button cell battery. Replace the battery when the device's performance degrades or the app indicates low battery. Ensure correct polarity when inserting the new battery.
• อัพเดตเฟิร์มแวร์: Regularly check the eWeLink app for firmware updates for both MINIR3 and S-MATE to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

8 การแก้ไขปัญหา

ต่อไปนี้เป็นวิธีแก้ไขปัญหาทั่วไปที่คุณอาจพบเจอ:

Figure 13: Common smart home challenges addressed by MINIR3 and S-MATE.

• Smart lights offline when the physical switch is off: This is a common issue with smart bulbs. The S-MATE solution allows you to keep your physical switch always "on" for the smart bulb, while the S-MATE sends commands to the MINIR3 to control the power, ensuring the smart bulb remains powered and online.
• No neutral wire in the switch box: The S-MATE is specifically designed for this scenario. It operates on battery power and communicates wirelessly with the MINIR3, eliminating the need for a neutral wire at the switch location.
• Smart switches do not match original decoration styles: By using the S-MATE with your existing physical switches, you can maintain your home's aesthetic while adding smart functionality.
• อุปกรณ์ไม่จับคู่:
  • ตรวจสอบให้แน่ใจว่าเครือข่าย Wi-Fi ของคุณเป็น 2.4GHz
  • Check that the device is powered on and in pairing mode (refer to the quick start guide).
  • Make sure your eWeLink app and device firmware are up to date.
  • Move the device closer to your Wi-Fi router during pairing.
• รีโมตคอนโทรลไม่ทำงาน:
  • ตรวจสอบการเชื่อมต่ออินเทอร์เน็ตของคุณ
  • Check the battery level of the S-MATE.
  • Ensure the MINIR3 is online in the eWeLink app.

9. เคล็ดลับผู้ใช้

ไม่มีคำแนะนำเฉพาะสำหรับผู้ใช้จากที่ให้ไว้views or Q&A. However, general tips for smart home devices include:

• Plan your setup: Before installation, consider which lights or appliances you want to automate and how they will integrate with your existing switches.
• ทดสอบการเชื่อมต่อ: Always test your wiring connections before fully assembling and powering on the devices.
• Explore eWeLink features: The eWeLink app offers many features beyond basic on/off control, such as timers, schedules, and scene creation. Take time to explore these to maximize your smart home experience.
• Consider range: While the eWeLink Remote has a range of up to 50M in open space, actual performance may vary indoors due to obstacles.
