SWITCH DIMMER
Part No S1111111
Description:
Installing a Budderfly adapter transforms your building’s existing wiring into the “Budderfly Open Network” and allows
the adapter to monitor energy consumption and communicate the data to a facility controller.
The Budderfly Switch Dimmer is a dual band device. It communicates using both Powerline and wireless RF. Thus there is
no need for rewiring.
Using the Budderfly software, it is possible to visualize consumption data and manage each individual adapter.
As a component of the Budderfly system, the Budderfly Switch Dimmer is designed to work with all other Budderfly
adapters. It is a plug-and-play replacement for your existing switch dimmer, and it provides multiple dimming techniques.
Once installed, The Budderfly Switch Dimmer also acts as a repeater to extend the range of the network and increase its
efficiency.
Installation:
