Getting Started

Unit Setup

  • Remove the Switch from packaging.

  • Clicking the button on the side of the unit will turn the Switch on or off.

iDevices® Connected App

  • Ensure your iOS device's Wi-Fi® is turned on and is connected to your home Wi-Fi® Network.
    • 2.4 Ghz b/g/n networks are compatible.
    • 5 Ghz networks are not compatible.
  • Download the free iDevices Connected app from the App Store.

Connecting Your Switch

  • Available devices will be shown at the top of the app.
    • If you don't see your device, check if the blue setup indicator on the Switch is blinking fast or slow. If blinking slow, hold button down for 3 seconds, release, and confirm fast blink.
  • In the app, find the Switch you'd like to connect to and tap the add icon.
  • Confirm your home network.
  • The Switch will turn solid blue to indicate it has successfully joined your home network.
  • If this is your first HomeKit™ product, the app will walk you through creating a home and a room. If you already have a home set up, the app will skip this step.

Problem Solving

The following information covers some of the most common troubleshooting issues with the iDevices® Switch. If you'd like more detail about your Switch and its capabilities, please visit our support site at idevicesinc.com/support, or give us a call Monday-Friday from 8am-8pm EST.

What do I do if an unexpected error occurs during initial setup?
First, try quitting the app by double clicking the home button and sliding the app upwards. Unplug the Switch from the outlet and plug it back in. If the LEDs flash green, reopen the app and proceed with the on-screen instructions. If the LEDs do not flash green, perform a factory reset.

Factory Reset
To reset the Switch to its factory condition, hold down the button for 10 seconds or more, the unit will momentarily flash red, white and then restart the setup sequence with a fast blue blink.

I'm experiencing issues with the iDevices® Connected app.
The iDevices® Connected app requires iOS 8.1 or greater.

I don't have a device to pair to my Switch, can I still use it?
You will have the ability to manually turn the Switch on and off using the button located on the side if no device is present.
