Key Features:

• Dual-Protocol Connectivity: Thread & Zigbee

• Neutral or No-Neutral Compatibility for Easy Installation
  Designed to fit both modern and older homes, the Dimmer Switch H2 EU supports installation with or without a neutral wire. With a neutral wire, users gain access to additional features like power monitoring and overload protection. Additionally, its modular design ensures compatibility with the popular 55 switch modular systemsand third-party multi-gang frames, eliminating the need for structural modifications.
• Intuitive Multi-Functional Dial Control
  The H2 EU features a multi-functional rotary dial, offering precise and intuitive control over lighting. Users can press the dial to turn lights on/off and rotate it to adjust brightness levels. Additionally, the switch can be controlled via schedules, mobile apps, voice assistants, and home automation routines, enhancing convenience and accessibility.
• Customizable Dimming for Every Occasion
  The Dimmer Switch H2 EU provides flicker-free, full-range dimming and additional customization in Zigbee mode:
  • Transition Setting: Configure the speed of light transitions from instant (0 sec) to a gradual fade (up to 10 sec).
  • Custom Brightness Limits: Set minimum and maximum brightness levels to ensure stable operation, preventing flickering—especially in no-neutral installations.
• Wide Compatibility with Dimmable Light Fixtures
  Supporting a broad range of non-smart dimmable lighting, including incandescent, halogen, dimmable CFL, dimmable LED, and ELV, the H2 EU accommodates both forward and reverse phase dimming, allowing users to choose the preferred mode for their lighting setup.
• Power-Off Memory & Power Monitoring
  The Dimmer Switch H2 EU retains the last brightness level after a power cycle and provides real-time power consumption data when installed with a neutral wire, offering greater control over energy efficiency.
