Help with the wall switch for smart actuators

There are several ways you can install your wall switch for smart Actuators. Here are the options:

Option 1: Direct connection

If your flush-mounted box is at least 55 mm deep, you do not need the wall switch for smart Actuators. In this case, your electrician can connect the Bosch Smart Home Actuator directly behind your existing switch.

Option 2: Using the wall switch

If your flush-mounted box is less than 55mm deep or requires additional space for cable installation but is at least 35mm deep, the wall switch for smart Actuators could be the solution. There are two sub-options here:

Option 2.1: Compatible switch series available

Is your existing switch series included in the compatibility list? Then you can continue to use your rocker and frame and simply replace your existing switch with the "push-button unit" of the wall switch for smart Actuators. Click here for theCompatibility list.

Option 2.2: Non-compatible switch series available

Is your existing switch series not listed in the compatibility list? If you have a single frame, you can replace it completely with the frame and rocker supplied. In the case of a multiple frame, this must be replaced with a compatible frame. Please check the compatibility list. Please note that Bosch Smart Home does not offer multiple frames.

the wall switch for smart Actuators is compatible with a wide range of switch series. Further information can be found in theCompatibility list.

Here is an excerpt:

Young:A, AS, LS, CD

Gira:ClassiX, E2, E3, Esprit, Event, Standard 55, Studio

Busch-Jaeger:Busch-axcent, Busch-balance SI, carat, Busch-dynasty, future linear, Solo

Please note:

• The installation procedure varies slightly depending on the switch series manufacturer. For further information: https://www.bosch-smarthome.com/rom/ms-compatibility
• The supplied cover/rocker has the standard format 55x55 mm and can therefore be combined with most frames from brand manufacturers
• An existing switch is not a prerequisite for using the wall switch for smart Actuators. A matching single cover including frame is also included with the wall switch.

No, that is not possible.

The Bosch Smart Home wall switch for smart Actuators only works in conjunction with an Actuator. The wall switch only sends a 10mA current pulse to the Actuators. This pulse is recognized and processed by the Actuator as a button press. If the wall switch is connected to a 230V mains supply without an Actuator, it will be destroyed.

Important points:

• The wall switch requires an Actuators in order to function.
• The switch sends a 10mA current pulse.
• The Actuators recognizes this pulse as a button press.
• Connection without an Actuator will destroy the wall switch.

You can use the supplied rocker in combination with the existing frame. The rocker has a standard size of 55x55 mm and therefore fits into most standard switch frames. This means you can use the wall switch without having to make any changes to your switch series.

If your Bosch Smart Home Relay or Dimmer only has one input, you have two options for connecting the wall switch for smart Actuators:

• Connect a push-button: You can only connect one of the two push-buttons from the wall switch to the Relay or Dimmer. The other button remains free and can be used for another Bosch Smart Home Actuator.
• Connect both buttons: You can connect both buttons to one input of the Relay or Dimmer. In this case, you can control the Relay or Dimmer with both the top and bottom buttons of the wall switch.

Please select the option that best suits your needs.

Note:Please note that these accessories may only be installed by an authorized electrician.

Yes, you can use the wall switch for smart actuators with Bosch Smart Home Actuators without any concerns. Although a maximum current of 10 mA is specified on the wall switch, this does not affect the Actuators' ability to switch higher currents.

The reason for this is that the current required for the consumer does not flow through the wall switch, but directly through the actuator behind it. The wall switch for smart Actuators only transmits a current pulse to signal the actuator to press a button.

If you have a box depth of at least 35mm, the solution is to combine the Bosch Smart Home wall switch for smart Actuators with the Bosch Actuators.

If you have previously operated a roller shutter with this double rocker, you can replace the switch with the Bosch Smart Home wall switch for smart Actuators. The operation changes slightly, as the two buttons on the wall switch are positioned at the top and bottom behind the rocker. Operation therefore changes as follows:

• Alt: left and right
• New: top and bottom

The wall switch for smart Actuators is useful if your flush-mounted box does not have the required depth. Here are the specific requirements:

• You need the wall switch if your flush-mounted box is not at least 55 mm deep.
• If your flush-mounted box is already stressed by cables running together, a depth of at least 60 mm may be required without the wall switch.
• With the wall switch, installation is possible from a box depth of 35 mm.

Please check the depth of your flush-mounted box before deciding whether you need the wall switch. Work on the 230V mains supply may only be carried out by qualified electricians.

When asked in the teach-in wizard of your Bosch Smart Home Actuator whether you are using a switch or a push-button, you must select the "Push-button" setting.

No, but the rocker included in the scope of delivery has the standard dimensions of 55x55 mm, which is used by many brand manufacturers in Germany. This means that you can continue to use the existing switch frame in most cases.

Yes, you can connect both buttons of the wall switch for smart Actuators to an input of your Bosch Smart Home Relay, Dimmer or Light/shutter control II. In this case, you can control the device with both the top and bottom buttons of the wall switch. This gives you more flexibility when operating your device.

Note:Please note that these accessories may only be installed by an authorized electrician.

The cables supplied with the wall switch for smart Actuators are stripped to different lengths to meet the specific requirements of the devices.

The Bosch Smart Home Dimmer, Relay and Light/shutter control II require 6 mm of insulation, while the wall switch for smart Actuators requires 10 mm of insulation. The cable insulation is cut accordingly.

There are several ways you can install your wall switch for smart Actuators. Here are the options:

Option 1: Full integration into the existing switch series

Is your switch series compatible with the wall switch for smart Actuators? Check this in theCompatibility list. Then, all you need is the "push-button unit" and the frame holder from the scope of delivery of the wall switch for smart Actuators. You can use the frame holder to fix the existing frame with the "push-button unit". You can also continue to use the existing rocker.

Option 2: Partial integration into the existing switch series

Do you have a multiple frame with a rocker dimension of 55x55mm? Then you can continue to use the existing frame. In this case, use the rocker, the frame holder and the "push-button unit" from the scope of delivery. Please note that there may be a difference in color between the rocker and the frame.

Option 3: Complete solution

Would you like to replace a single frame with the wall switch for smart Actuators and your switch series is not compatible? Then you can use the entire scope of delivery of the wall switch for smart Actuators and completely replace the existing switch series. If you want to use a multiple frame, you must first procure a compatible frame (see option 2).
