Choosing the Right Astute Controller

  • Determine the total load to be automated (amps/watts) - oversize if controlling multiple appliances.
  • Plan integration: Wi-Fi range, app ecosystem (Astute App/SmartLife), home automation gateways.
  • Identify installation site: behind wall switch, on DIN rail, or as standalone plug module.
SA Practical Note: Confirm neutral-wire presence at the install location. Many legacy homes lack these at switch points; consult a qualified electrician for compliant wiring.
