Control and Monitor Your 63A Circuit from Your Phone
The Potric POVD-63TM WiFi Smart Switch brings remote control and energy monitoring to your distribution board. Switch a 63A circuit on or off from anywhere, set schedules, and see how much power the circuit uses, all from a free smart-home app on your phone.
It suits water heaters, air conditioners, pumps, and whole-home circuits where you want to turn loads off remotely, cut standby use, or keep track of consumption.
Key Features
- Remote control: turn the circuit on or off from your phone over WiFi.
- Manual power button: switch on the device itself, with no phone needed.
- Energy monitoring: the app shows total electricity (kWh), today's electricity (kWh), power (W), voltage (V), and current (A).
- Timers and automation: schedule when the circuit switches on and off, and set up tap-to-run scenes.

Important Note
A smart switch controls power remotely. It is not a replacement for a circuit breaker or an RCD. Install it together with a suitable MCB or RCBO for short-circuit and electric shock protection. Remote control requires a working WiFi connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a phone to use it?
You need a phone for remote control, timers, and readings. You can still switch the circuit manually with the power button.
What does the LED mean?
Slow blue flashing means it is waiting to be paired. Steady blue means it is connected to your network.
What if my WiFi signal is weak at the distribution board?
Place a WiFi router or extender near the board before pairing, as a strong signal is needed for a stable connection.
Can several people control it?
Yes. Use the "Share Device" option in the app to share it with other accounts.
Does it replace my circuit breaker?
No. Use it together with your MCB or RCBO for complete protection.
Do I need an electrician to install it?
