Default to on when powered up

[ghoggan]

It would be good to have the ability to set the device to switch itself to on when powered up

It does when it was on before power down.

Hi Theo What I had in mind was to power on at startup regardless of the previous state. This would allow the unit to be easily installed inline with existing lighting circuit wiring. Normal control would be via Mqtt or Alexa, fallback if automation fails would be to use the existing light switch. Helps the WAF (wife acceptance factor) I realise there is allowance for external switch input but this would leave the existing wiring more or less intact.

Thanks for the response, Glenn

Yes than would be nice but there should be 3 contacts on the output. Now only normaly-open and com are available On Dec 19, 2016 06:29, "ghoggan" [email protected] wrote:

Default to opposite is maybe what you want. And a push switch that breaks circuit.
