AJAX 856963007194 Wall Switch
Product Information
WallSwitch is a wireless indoor power relay featuring a power consumption meter. The device can be installed in a European-type socket with the help of a qualified electrician. It operates only within the Ajax security system, communicating with a hub via the protected Jeweller protocol. The communication range is up to 1,000 meters in the line of sight. The miniature body of the device is adapted for installation in a European-type socket. Regardless of the type of electrical circuit, only a qualified electrician should install WallSwitch!
WallSwitch operates only within the Ajax security system (integration into third-party security systems is not provided), communicating with a hub via the protected Jeweller protocol. The communication range is up to 1,000 meters in the line of sight.

Functional Elements
- Antenna
- Terminal blocks
- Functional button
- Light indicator
The input terminals of WallSwitch are connected to the grid, and the output terminals are connected to the socket or electrical appliance/system. WallSwitch closes/opens the electric circuit, controlling the power supply by the command of the security system user through the Ajax app. To make WallSwitch react to alarm or schedule automatically, you can configure a scenario.
IN terminals:
- L terminal — power supply phase terminal.
- N terminal — power supply neutral terminal.
OUT terminals:
- N terminal — connected device neutral output contact terminal.
- L terminal — connected device phase output contact terminal.
The maximum resistive load on the relay is 3 kW. You can check the power usage by the electrical appliance connected via WallSwitch through the app. There is a power consumption meter.
WallSwitch, with firmware version 5.54.1.0 and higher, can operate in pulse or bistable mode. With this firmware version, you can also select the normal relay contact state: when the relay is inactive. WallSwitch, with firmware version below 5.54.1.0, only works in bistable mode with a normally open contact.
At low loads (up to 25 W), current and power consumption indications may be displayed incorrectly due to hardware limitations.
Product Usage Instructions
Before connecting the device, make sure that the hub is switched on and connected to the internet. Install the Ajax app, create an account, add the hub to the app, and create at least one room. Only users with administrator rights can add a device to the app.
To pair WallSwitch with the hub, follow these steps:
- Click “Add device” in the Ajax app.
- Name the device, scan it, or enter the QR code manually (located on the case and packaging), select the room.
- Click “Add” — the countdown will begin.
- Press the functional button. If you can’t do this (the device is mounted in the wall), give WallSwitch at least 20 W load for five seconds (by connecting and disconnecting a working kettle or lamp).
For detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located in the coverage area of the hub’s wireless network (at the same object). The connection request is transmitted only at the moment of switching on the device.
Operating Principle
WallSwitch input terminals are connected to the grid, and the output terminals
are connected to the socket or electrical appliance/system. WallSwitch
closes/opens the electric circuit, controlling the power supply by the command
of the security system user through the Ajax app. The state of WallSwitch
contacts can be switched manually: by holding the function button for 2
seconds. To make WallSwitch react to alarm or schedule automatically, you can
configure a scenario. WallSwitch features a protection system against voltage
surge beyond the range of 184V – 253V or overcurrent above 13А. In this case,
the power supply is interrupted, resuming after normalizing the voltage and
current values. The maximum resistive load on the relay is 3 kW.
You can check the power usage by the electrical appliance connected via
WallSwitch through the app. There is a power consumption meter. WallSwitch,
with firmware version 5.54.1.0 and higher, can operate in pulse or bistable
mode. With this firmware version, you can also select the normal relay contact
state:
- Normally open (NO) — the contacts close when the relay is activated and open when the relay is inactive.
WallSwitch, with firmware version below 5.54.1.0, only works in bistable mode
with a normally open contact.

At low loads (up to 25 W), current and power consumption indications may be displayed incorrectly due to hardware limitations.
Connecting to the hub
Before connecting the device:
- Switch on the hub and check its Internet connection (the logo glows white or green).
- Install the Ajax app . Create the account, add the hub to the app, and create at least one room.
- Make sure that the hub is not armed, and it does not update by checking its status in the Ajax app.
Only users with administrator rights can add a device to the app.
To pair WallSwitch with the hub:
- Click Add device in the Ajax app.
- Name the device, scan it, or enter the QR code manually (located on the case and packaging), select the room.
- Click Add — the countdown will begin.
- Press the functional button. If you can’t do this (the device is mounted in the wall), give WallSwitch at least 20 W load for five seconds (by connecting and disconnecting a working kettle or lamp).
For detection and pairing to occur, the device should be located in the coverage area of the hub’s wireless network (at the same object). The connection request is transmitted only at the moment of switching on the device.
If the device failed to pair, wait 30 seconds and then retry. WallSwitch will appear in the list of hub devices. The device statuses update depends on the ping interval set in the hub settings. The default value is 36 seconds.
When switching on for the first time, WallSwitch contacts are open! When deleting WallSwitch from the system, contacts open!

Indication
The WallSwitch light indicator can light green depending on the device status.
When not paired with the hub, the light indicator blinks periodically. When
the functional button is pressed, the light indicator lights up.
Functionality testing
The Ajax security system allows conducting tests for checking the
functionality of connected devices. The tests do not start immediately but
within a period of 36 seconds when using default settings. The test time start
depends on the settings of the detector ping interval (the Jeweller menu in
the hub settings).

Installation of the Device
Regardless of the type of electrical circuit, only a qualified electrician should install WallSwitch!
WallSwitch is designed for installation inside a socket box with the diameter 50 mm and more and the depth no less than 70 mm. The relay can also be installed within extension cords and other circuits powered by 230 V.
Installation process:
- De-energize the cable to which WallSwitch will be connected.
- Connect the grid wire to the WallSwitch terminals according to the following scheme:
- Connect a socket using bundled connecting wires or an electrical appliance using a wire with the sufficient cross-section to WallSwitch. It’s recommended to use wires with a cross-section of 1.5 – 2 mm².
Do not connect more than 3 kW load to WallSwitch. When connecting the load, strictly observe the connection diagram since an incorrect connection may cause the device to malfunction and/or damage the property. When installing WallSwitch in the box, lead out the antenna and place it under the plastic frame of the socket. The bigger the distance between the antenna and During the installation and operation of WallSwitch, follow the general electrical safety rules and the requirements of electrical safety regulatory acts.
It is strictly forbidden to disassemble the device. Do not use the device with damaged power cables.
Do not install the WallSwitch:
- Outdoors.
- In metal wiring boxes and electrical panels.
- In places with temperature and humidity exceeding the permissible limits.
- Closer than 1 m to a hub.
