How to use

Minimum Brightness

This feature minimizes LED bulb flickering and strobing when the dimmer is at the minimum light level. This feature can also be used to set a personal preference.

If the connected light is not working below a certain percentage, you can set the minimum percent at which the Dimmer Switch H2 EU will turn on. Once set, the light cannot be dimmed below this minimum threshold. Adjustable range: 1% to 100%.

  1. Double-press, and then rotate within 3 seconds of the press to enter the minimum brightness setting mode
  2. Rotate the knob counterclockwise to adjust to the minimum brightness, and single-press to save. The indicator light will flash blue twice after the setting is successful

Warm up

This function can prevent the lamp from abruptly turning on at full brightness, which can cause unnecessary light pollution or eye irritation, and can also extend the life of the lamp. Users can adjust these parameters through the dimmer setting interface according to their personal preferences and actual needs.

Some lights require a certain power impulse in order to start below 100% brightness. You can set the brightness level and the time at which the Dimmer Switch H2 EU will turn on. Brightness range: 1 – 100%. Time range: 1 – 10s.

Phase Selection

Reverse Phase is the default setting.

  1. Press five times to enter the phase selection mode
  2. Press to switch the phase (red: Forward Phase, blue: Reverse Phase), long press to confirm the setting

Forward Phase: Used for Incandescent, LED, CFL, and some Fluorescent controls (certain Fluorescent controls require forward phase).

Reverse Phase: Used for LED, CFL, Electronic Low Voltage (ELV), and some LED drivers or Incandescent loads. (ELV requires reverse phase dimming).Aqara Dimmer Switch H2 EU-3
