The Cync Smart Light Switch utilizes a dual-radio architecture supporting 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2. This "hubless" design assigns all processing logic to the individual switch's MCU. Material analysis identifies a physical tactile toggle, which provides mechanical feedback superior to capacitive alternatives. Technical specifications indicate a load rating of 450W for LED and 600W for incandescent bulbs, with a neutral wire required for maintaining the Wi-Fi heartbeat.
Operational data suggests that high-density deployments may lead to network congestion on 2.4GHz IoT bands. Standardized troubleshooting protocols for this unit involve a 6-step factory reset sequence to resolve potential MCU deadlock states. Local control capabilities are restricted, as the primary configuration and execution logic reside within the Cync cloud ecosystem.
If the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi congestion of a hubless setup is a concern, the Aeotec WallMote 7 provides a Z-Wave alternative that offloads traffic to a dedicated sub-GHz frequency.
This hardware falls under smart wall switches, offering direct load control without the need for a secondary gateway.
