Delta Dore Tyxia 6610 switch

In this new article, we will Review the switch TYXIA 6610 of the French brand Delta Dore. This smart health connected switch will allow you to control an auxiliary lamp such as a bedroom, office or corridor lamp.

Presentation of the Tyxia 6610 switch

To start, the switch comes in a very small box. We can read "Switch / Receiver" and the name of the product, it's a shame, we would have appreciated a little more packaging. As a real example of use and a beginning of explanation on the functioning of the product. Because to control the switch, you will need the Delta Dore health home automation box.

On the technical side, the switch obviously operates on 230 V and uses the 868 MHz frequency band with the proprietary X3D protocol. With a maximum displayed power of 100 W, you will have no problem using it on any type of bulb such as LED, halogen or incandescent.

The switch is a little larger than a standard switch with its dimensions H 77 x W 37 x D 27 mm. On the front, there is a single button that acts as a manual ON / OFF switch, as well as an integrated red LED. The whole is of very good quality, both plastics and electrical connectors.

Inside, there are two quick connect terminal blocks for easy installation. As well as a guide for getting the correct length of wire, it's a good point to have thought of it for easier assembly. It's the little detail that makes the difference.

Installing the Tyxia 6610 switch

For the installation, I remind you that the TYXIA 6610 just replacing the original switch. In the example below, I'll show you how to do it yourself.

Once the old switch is removed, inside the new switch is a template that will allow us to have the right length of bare wire.

Using wire strippers, we will strip and cut the cable to the correct length before passing it through the plastic sleeve. Then while pressing on the quick connection terminal block, we will plug in the wires. And finally pass the cable of the support system in S. Its role is to prevent the cable from moving so as not to tear them from the terminal block. We then reassemble the case which we screw. And there it is, it’s over, it’s a bit longer than plugging in a smart health connected outlet, but it’s done very well in minutes.

Now let's move on to association with the Delta Dore health home automation box. Don't forget to install the Tydom app available for free on Android and iOS.

We then go to “My equipment”, then “Add equipment”. Then we select “TYXIA 6610”In the“ Lighting ”category. The instructions are followed by pressing the switch button for 3 seconds then the "Associate" button of the application.

And here, in a few seconds, the switch is recognized. It only remains to give it a name and a location to make it appear on the dashboard.

It is now possible to switch on your bedside lamp via the switch or via the app from anywhere. And there is no risk of forgetting whether or not you have turned off the light thanks to the recovery. You will be on the state of the lamp by looking at your smartphone.

Conclusion

A high quality product, French brand and guaranteed 5 years, these are the good points. On the board, there is a slightly high catch of € 84 on the official site of the brand but which can be found cheaper at some resellers. And the fact that mounting is a little more complicated than a simple smart health connected socket.

Nevertheless, it is very practical and easy to use on a daily basis. A product that undoubtedly finds its place in the smart health home.
