Overview of Casambi Smart Switches & Casambi lamps
Casambi switch with mounting frame (for sticking on)
Adhesive mounting allows you to place the wireless switch on a suitable flat surface as you wish. In this way, you can use it flexibly exactly where you need it. All you have to do is stick the switch to a firm, dust- and grease-free place with the enclosed adhesive pad. With additional wireless switches, the light can also be controlled from other switching locations.
Alternatively, you can replace an existing light switch. For this purpose, the mounting frame can also be glued or screwed in place.
To replace a wired switch with the Casambi wireless switch, you must remove it completely. Then clamp the cables so that the lamp is permanently supplied with power. Now you can screw the mounting frame onto the flush-mounted box and snap the wireless switch into place.
At this point we would like to point out that it is safest to have this work done by a qualified electrician.
You want to replace an existing switch?
To replace an existing wired switch with a smart wireless switch, proceed as follows (requires electrician):
- To replace an existing wired switch, remove it completely. (Fig. 1-3)
- The cables are connected so that the lamp is permanently powered. (Fig. 4-6)
- The mounting frame is screwed onto the flush-mounted box. (Picture 7)

Casambi light switch with cover frame
Simply cover a wired switch
This Casambi version is the right choice if you want to replace a wired switch - without the help of a professional. This simple over-mount installation is particularly interesting for tenants, as both the installation and later removal are easy to handle when moving out.
To install the light switch with surface-mounted frame, you only need to remove the frame and rockers of the existing push-button. The switch insert remains in the flush-mounted box, which is why you do not come into contact with the power cables at any time. Now place the cover frame of the radio switch where the previous switch was. Now make sure that the switch insert is set to "On" before you finally place the push-buttons on it.
2. remove the existing switch Only the switch insert is left in the flush-mounted box.
3. put on the cover frame The cover frame is screwed onto the flush-mounted box and covers the switching insert of the previous switch.
4. snap on the radio switch The radio switch is placed on the cover frame. Beforehand, the switch insert is switched to On so that the lamp is supplied with power.

Casambi movable switch with Hidden Socket
Beyond the wireless light switches, we offer our Hidden Socket | Versteckdose®. This is a combination of a Smart Home switch and a standard socket. The special thing about it is that you can make the socket disappear behind the switch at any time and only bring it out when you actually need it. All you need to do is press lightly on the switch and the mechanical opening support is triggered..
The advantage of this system is not only that you save space - the cables behind the original light switch also do not remain unused. In addition, you benefit from a comfortable operating height and do not have to bend down to insert a plug.
The switch-socket combination can be mounted exclusively by screw mounting on a flush-mounted box. The cables of the previous light switch are used for the socket insert. In this case, we recommend hiring a specialist for the installation.

What functions do the switches for Casambi have?
All wireless switches on this page are specifically designed for Casambi and are fully compatible. To configure and connect them according to your wishes, you need the official Casambi app. With this, you can individually assign functions to the four switching points of the buttons.
For example, you can use the left side of the wireless switch to control the light in the living room, and the right side to control the light in the kitchen. Or you can assign the four settings in a room with differently configured light scenes. Each function of the four switching points of the radio switch can also be operated in parallel on a smartphone via WiFi.
Determine the type of lighting, dim the light, change the colour, vary between cold and warm white or use the light scenes and dynamic light sequences already stored.
In short: The light switches in combination with your Smart Home system Casambi enable you to control your lighting in an uncomplicated and individual way.
Energy harvesting: this battery-free technology makes the difference!
Replacing batteries is completely unnecessary with our wireless switches. This is made possible by the built-in EnOcean switching unit. The necessary energy is generated simply by pressing the buttons.
This energy harvesting technology obtains the required energy from the push of a button. In this way, our Casambi wireless switches are completely independent of cables or batteries. With the switches, you have access to a sustainable and cost-saving solution in the long term.
In addition, this type of energy generation allows us to offer you the light switches with different mounting options.
How to configure the switch Configuration with Casambi App
To configure it, open the Casambi App on your smartphone. Then open the More section in the app and select the item "Switch" and "Add EnOcean switch". After scanning via NFC, the switch is recognised and displayed by the app with the technical designation PTM215B. Now you can name the switch individually, assign it to rooms or groups and configure the four switching points with functions.
