How do I control my downlights with a Cync Smart Switch or Wire-Free Switch/Remote?
 

• Simply assign your downlights and Cync switch or remote to the same Room or Group in the Cync app.
• If you assign these devices to the same Room, your switch or remote will control all the Cync devices assigned to that Room. If you want to control a select group of devices with a switch or remote, simply move those specific devices into a Group within that app Room.

NOTE: If a switch or remote is assigned to a Room that has one or more Groups, that switch or remote will control all those Groups and the devices assigned to them. Think of it as a master switch or remote for your Room!
