Once set up, the switch can be controlled locally via a button or remotely from the IPS via the Switch Interface software. The switches share information about their state with some server software on the IPS and can receive remote commands from the IPS too. Because the switches are designed to use the WiFi network intermittently, they check in with the server at regular (configurable) intervals to synchronise state information and process any pending commands. If a device is turned on or off locally after a remote (software) command has been sent, then the local operation takes precedence. Likewise, if the remote command is the most recent, it is executed at the next check-in. |

| + | === Wifi Modes === | ||
| + | To keep RFI down, the switch can be configured to only turn its WiFi on when it does an update. To toggle between these modes, either hold down the button on the switch for more than 2 seconds or set the update interval in the SwitchInterface software to 0. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Intermittent WiFi == | ||
| + | In this mode, the WiFi is off most of the time but the switch will connect at a specified time interval and do an update. This update interval can be configured in setup mode or via the SwitchInterface program. | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Constant WiFi == | ||
| + | In this mode, the WiFi is on all the time and the switch will attempt a status update with the server every 60s (by default) or whatever update time is specified when in setup mode. This is indicated by the WiFi LED being on at all times. | ||
