Configuring your multiway setup when you have Switch + Control

Switch = Load Side; Control = Line Side

Control = Load SIde; Switch = Line Side

 

 

Multiway Configuration where Switch is Load Side and Control is Line Side

 

Since your Control is receiving power (Line Side), we will need to configure the Control to pass the power to the load side and remap the slider for the fixture you wish to control that is currently controlled by your Smart Dimmer Switch.

 

Load Side Switch Configuration

  1. Open the Brilliant Mobile app and go to Settings --> Install
  2. Start the install of a Smart Dimmer Switch
  3. On the step where it asks how many Switches control your load, make sure to select 1. (This is because only the Load side switch will control the load...all other switches will communicate with the load side switch via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi).
  4. Complete the configuration of this load side Switch

 

Line Side Control Configuration

  1. Go to the Brilliant Control.
  2. Tap on Settings --> Light --> select the # corresponding to the positon (multi-gang units only)
  3. Tap on “Re-configure” under “DEVICE INFO” and select Light Type as “Always On”. When it asks you how many switches control this load, select 1. (This is because only the Load side switch will control the load...all other switches will communicate with the load side switch via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi).
  4. Once your light is reconfigured as Always On, go to Settings --> Slider (multigang Controls only) (for single gang Control go to Gestures)
  5. Now you are on the control's slider settings. Scroll to Slider Controls below and select “Update Slider Settings” and update the slider to control the load (from the load side Switch).
