Button Press functions of Aeotec Pico Duo Switch
Action Button (From the Pico Duo Switch)
User behavior | outside network | Inside network |
Power OFF | N/A | N/A |
Power ON | 1, If external switch is a 2-state switch, the relays will synchronize the status with the position of the external switch, otherwise all relays will turn off. 2, The device start the Touch Link target process automatically. Touch Link lasts only 3 seconds. 3. Enter ZigBee3.0 initial start up. The LED will flash quickly for about 180 sec while scanning or until the device is joined to a controller If device is not joined within 180 sec. The LED will start slow breathing. | The status of the relays is determined by the priority from top to bottom: 1, If the external switch endpoint has any binded devices, and if the external switch is a 2-state switch, the relays will synchronize it. 2, Refer to the attribute StartUpOnOff belong to On/off cluster to determine the status of the relays. 3. The led will turn on for 1 seconds, then synchronize to the status of the relays. |
Click Action Button 1 time | Toggles on or off. - If one channel is on, both channels will turn off. - if both channels are off, both channels will turn on Indicator Light will continue slow breathing. | Toggles on or off. - If one channel is on, both channels will turn off. - if both channels are off, both channels will turn on Indicator light will synchronize to the status of the relays. |
Click Action Button 2 times | Pair to Zigbee Controller/Coordinator: Indicator Light will quickly flash blue light until it is join into the network or times out if nothing is detected after 180 seconds. If pairing fails, Light Indicator will return to a slow breathe animation. If pairing succeeds, the Light Indicator will enter regular light mode (constantly blue light or off based on the state of the Pico Duo Switch). | Central network mode: Nothing to be done. Distribute network mode: The device open network for 180 seconds, can join other nodes into the existed network. Indicator Light will blink slowly.
|
Click Action Button 3 times | N/A | External Switch 1 (S1) identify mode: Start identify mode of external switch 1 (S1). The Light Indicator will flash rapidly while attempting to identify the switch automatically. You may toggle/push external switch 1 to identify faster. |
Click Action Button 4 times | N/A | External Switch 2 (S2) identify mode: Start identify mode of external switch 2 (S2). The Light Indicator will flash rapidly while attempting to identify the switch automatically. You may toggle/push external switch 2 to identify faster. |
Click Action Button 5 times | N/A | Endpoint 1 Find and Bind target mode (Initiator): Endpoint 1 enters find and bind target mode, this progress will continue to 180s. Indicator Light will blink quickly while Pico Duo Switch is scanning. |
Click Action Button 6 times | N/A | Endpoint 2 Find and Bind target mode (Initiator): Endpoint 2 enters find and bind target mode, this progress will continue to 180s. Indicator Light will blink slowly while Pico Duo Switch is scanning. |
Press and hold Action Button for [1, 2s) | No function Indicator Light will turn off when pressed/held, and return to breathing light when release between 1-2s. | No function Indicator Light will turn off when pressed/held, and then return to its regular light mode when released ( Light Indicator follows switch state of Pico Duo Switch).
|
Press and hold Action Button for [2, 5s) | No function, Indicator Light will start breathing. | Touch Link initiator mode. Trigger the device to start Touch Link initiator mode. Indicator Light will turn on solid when held between 2-5s, and fades on slowly then off quickly 5x times when released. |
Press and hold Action Button for [5, 10s) | No function, Indicator Light will speed up flashing when held between 5-10s, and returns to breathing light when released. | No function, Indicator Light will flash even faster when held between 5 – 10s, and then returns to regular light mode when released (Light Indicator follows switch state of Pico Duo Switch). |
Press and hold Action Button for [10, 12) | No function, Indicator Light will become constantly light when press, and become breathing light when released. | Factory reset When Action button is held for 10s or more, Factory Reset is performed on Pico Duo Switch. The Indicator Light will return to a slow breathing light, which indicates a successful factory reset operation. |
Press and hold Action Button for [17s) | Factory reset, then create and join a Distributed Network If joining a distributed network succeeds, it will enter regular light mode (Light Indicator follows switch state of Pico Duo Switch). | Factory reset, then create and join a Distributed Network If joining a distributed network succeeds, it will enter regular light mode (Light Indicator follows switch state of Pico Duo Switch). |
External Switch (Connected switch)
User behavior | outside network | Inside network |
Click External Switch 1 time | N/A | 1. Binding ON/OFF (server) delivery. 2. Toggles Pico Switch on/off - S1 controls Out1 - S2 controls Out2 |
Click External Switch 2 times | N/A | switch 1 : Multicast delivery (group 1, recall scenes, ID1) switch 2 : Multicast delivery (group 1, recall scenes, ID2) |
Click External Switch 3 times | Pair to Zigbee Controller/Coordinator: Indicator Light will quickly flash blue light until it is join into the network or times out if nothing is detected after 180 seconds. If pairing fails, Light Indicator will return to a slow breathe animation. If pairing succeeds, the Light Indicator will enter regular light mode (constantly blue light or off based on the state of the Pico Switch). | Trigger the external switch X to send Initiator query finding and binding the other devices in the network, this progress will continue to 3s. Note: ‘X’ is mapped to either external switch 1 or 2. Indicator Light will become turns on quickly and turns off slowly. |
Click External Switch 6 times | N/ | N/A |
