Quick Guide

The GM Lighting SHWD Smart Home Dimmer allows you to control your lighting via the LUXcontrol app or voice assistants. Before starting, ensure you have a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and a neutral wire in your wall box. Installation requires turning off the power at the circuit breaker. Once installed, use the LUXcontrol app to pair the device by cycling the power three times during the Auto Scan process.

Product Overview

The dimmer features a touch-sensitive interface for brightness control and an easy On/Off press control. It includes a Power Reset button to reset the circuit if the touch control is unresponsive, and a Wi-Fi Reset button to enter pairing mode.
