Qcenz Feature – Follow / Master – Slave
December 26, 2019 By / Categories support

Qcenz devices provide in-built support to accept role as a Master or Slave device. By doing so, we can configure any device to follow or dictate operations of another device. This feature is useful to configure 2-way switch scenarios. This feature can be configured wirelessly and does not need any wiring changes in your home. If you want to operate certain Qcenz smart switch(es)/plug(s) through some other Qcenz smart switch/plug without any wiring changes,then you can use the Follow feature.

Example 1: You want to usea smart switch to control a smart plug.

Whenever the source switch is turned ON, the follower plug gets turned ON. Also whenever the source switch is turned OFF, the follower plug gets turned OFF.

Example2: You want to operate certain smart switches located at upstairs through a smart switch located at downstairs.

Whenever the source switch is turned ON, the follower switches get turned ON. Also whenever the source switch is turned OFF, the follower switches get turned OFF.

Example 3: You want to trigger a scene through a smart switch.

Whenever the source switch is turned ON, the scene gets triggered. Whenever the source switch is turned OFF, nothing happens to the scene.

Note: It is advisable to use unused smart switch as source switch for follow configuration to avoid confusion.
