After the installation is complete, the Powermate+ can be connected to the Linkbox+. This is done by pressing the device's button once as illustrated below. When the LED on the Powermate+ flashes orange, it is in pairing mode, and is ready to connect to the Linkbox+.

Pairing and setting up Powermate in the Abralife app

After the installation is complete, the Powermate+ can be connected wirelessly to the Linkbox+. This is done by pressing the device's button once marked as illustrated below. When the device's LED flashes orange, it is in pairing mode, and is ready to connect to the Linkbox+.

From the home screen of the Abralife app, tap on the "+" icon located in the upper right corner. Then, select "Add Device" from the menu that appears. Select the type of "Smart Relay".

For further information on installation, please refer to the article "Installation of the Abra Powermate+ relay for smart control of the water heater".

NOTE! Impulse Mode Activation

If the Powermate+ is to be used to control garage doors, locking systems and other devices with potential-free inputs (i.e. where the Powermate+ is not to control the main power supply on/off), it is important to activate the impulse mode before connecting the module to the Linkobox+. This is to avoid damage to your equipment.

Short press the button on the relay switch 5 times. The LED will pulse green, confirming the activation of the impulse mode. You can now proceed with the installation of Powermate+.

To deactivate the impulse mode, repeat a series of 5 short presses.
