FAQs

What does “intuitive operation” mean for Jellico electrical switches?

In Jellico products, intuitive operation refers to designs that let you control lighting or appliances in the most natural way possible—no learning curve required. Whether it’s a capacitive-touch surface that reacts to a light tap, a rocker that always returns to a neutral position, or back-lit icons that tell you the current state at a glance, every interaction is engineered to feel immediate and logical. This minimizes user error, shortens installation training, and enhances accessibility for children, seniors, or guests who have never used the switch before.

Are Jellico intuitive switches compatible with my home’s existing wiring?

Yes. All standard Jellico intuitive switches are built to fit into a single-gang or multi-gang wall box using the same live, neutral, and ground conductors already in place. They support 110–240 V AC at 50/60 Hz and are certified to IEC and UL standards. If you are replacing a conventional mechanical switch, you simply remove the old unit, connect the corresponding wires to the clearly labeled L (live), N (neutral), and ⏚ (ground) terminals, and secure the plate. No additional control hubs or proprietary cabling are required, although smart variants may need a neutral wire for Wi-Fi or Zigbee functionality.

How do I install a Jellico touch or gesture switch?

1. Turn OFF mains power at the breaker. 2. Remove the existing switch faceplate and pull the wires clear. 3. Match each wire to the terminal labels on the Jellico backplate (L-in, L-out, N, ⏚). Tighten the clamp screws firmly. 4. Snap the capacitive glass or polycarbonate face onto the backplate. 5. Restore power and wait 5 s—the LED indicator will pulse once to signal readiness. 6. Test by tapping or swiping according to the Quick-Start Guide. The whole process typically takes under 10 minutes. If you are not comfortable working with mains voltage, hire a licensed electrician.

Can Jellico intuitive switches be integrated with smart-home ecosystems like Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit?

Most Jellico models are standalone, but our ‘Smart Intuitive’ series adds 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Zigbee radios. Once the switch is powered, open the Jellico Connect app, tap “Add Device,” and follow the on-screen scanning procedure. After pairing, you can link the device to Alexa, Google Home, or HomeKit through their respective skills or integrations. Voice commands such as “Alexa, turn on hallway light” or automations like geofencing and schedules then become available without sacrificing the tactile local control everyone in the household can use.

What built-in safety features do Jellico intuitive switches provide?

• Surge suppression up to 2 kV protects internal electronics from lightning and grid spikes. • Over-temperature cutoff at 85 °C shuts the switch off before damage or fire risk occurs. • Child-safe faceplates have no exposed screws and meet IP20 touch-protection standards. • Flame-retardant PC-V0 housing resists ignition. • Dual-pole isolation (in selected models) disconnects both live and neutral lines, crucial for inductive loads like fans. All units are third-party tested and carry CE, FCC, and (for North America) UL listings.

How do I troubleshoot if my Jellico switch becomes unresponsive?

1. Confirm the circuit breaker is ON and the load (lamp/appliance) itself is functional. 2. Check the LED status indicator; rapid red blinks often mean a wiring error, while no light at all may indicate no neutral connection. 3. Power-cycle the switch by turning the breaker OFF for 10 s and back ON. 4. For smart variants, rejoin the network by pressing the reset recess for 5 s until the LED pulses blue. 5. Inspect terminals for loose conductors; retighten if necessary. 6. If the problem persists, contact Jellico Support with the model and firmware version—units are covered by a 3-year warranty and we can arrange repair or replacement if a hardware fault is found.
