Figure 6: S-MATE compatibility with existing switch types.
5.2.1. Wiring for Single MINI R3

Figure 7: Wiring diagram for a single MINI R3 (top left) and for one MINI R3 with multiple S-MATE devices (bottom).
For a single MINI R3 installation, connect the Live (L) and Neutral (N) wires to the input terminals. Connect the load (e.g., light bulb) to the output terminals (Lout and N).
5.2.2. Wiring for S-MATE with MINI R3

Figure 8: Wiring diagram for one S-MATE controlling three MINI R3 units.
When using S-MATE with MINI R3, the S-MATE connects to your existing wall switch and communicates wirelessly with the MINIR3. The L/L1/L2/L3 terminals on S-MATE are used as terminal blocks for easier installation; leave them out if not needed. The S-MATE does not require a neutral wire as it is battery-powered.
