It uses an internal electrodynamic generator, so each press generates the energy needed to transmit the command.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a surface-mounted, 2-module control intended for sheltered interior areas (IP40). On board, it is commonly used as a wall-mounted lighting and scene controller in cabins, saloons, helm stations, or anywhere you want a switch location without running new wiring through liners and bulkheads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch module is completed with compatible Vimar button sets, so the visible key style and color depend on the buttons and plates you pair it with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZigbee Green Power and Friends of Hue radio transmitter on 2.4 GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery-free operation with a built-in electrodynamic generator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP40 rating for protected indoor locations on the boat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-module format for pairing with compatible Vimar buttons and plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface-mount installation for refits where you want a switch point without pulling cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with compatible Vimar button sets including Eikon 20506, Arké 19506, and Plana 14506\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan the mounting spot like you would any interior control: reachable with one hand, away from spray, and not in a spot that gets direct washdowns. IP40 is fine for dry cabins and protected consoles, but it is not a watertight rating for exposed cockpits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the switch is self-powered, there is no 12V or 24V feed to connect and no neutral to chase. That makes it a practical option during refits when adding a new control point would otherwise mean opening up joinery or pulling new cable runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and system integration\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a wireless control, not a load switch. It sends Zigbee Green Power commands to a compatible system and does not directly switch AC or DC power to a light. Make sure your smart lighting setup supports Zigbee Green Power and Friends of Hue commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a Hue-based setup, commissioning is done through a Hue Bridge v2 (square) and the Hue app, allowing the buttons to be assigned to on and off, dimming, and stored scenes as supported by your lighting configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a good match for owners who want Hue-style scene control in more than one location, such as adding a second switch by the berth, at the companionway, or near the galley, without running wiring through tight chases. It also fits well in sealed or hard-to-access interior panels where replacing batteries would be a nuisance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vimar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269502628021,"sku":"QBP871362","price":146.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300294_qbp871362.jpg?v=1771544309","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp871362","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
