Guarantee & Return Policy

Effective Date: December 10, 2025

At OpenELAB, we are committed to providing accurate product descriptions and high-quality electronics. The following policy outlines your rights and obligations, designed to be fair to both our customers and our business operations globally.

1. Warranty Policy

A. Standard Limited Warranty (Global & US)

For customers in the United States, Asia, and other non-EU regions:

  • Warranty Period: OpenELAB provides a 12-month warranty from the date of delivery.

  • Coverage: This warranty covers defects in material and workmanship under normal use.

  • Resolution: We will repair or replace defective units at no charge.

B. Statutory Rights for EU/UK Customers (EU Compliance)

If you are a consumer residing in the European Union or the UK purchasing from our global site:

  • Statutory Guarantee: You are entitled to a 24-month statutory guarantee for conformity defects present at the time of delivery, in accordance with EU consumer protection laws.

  • Relation: The Standard Limited Warranty (Section 1.A) applies in addition to, and does not replace, your statutory rights.

C. Warranty Exclusions (Applies to ALL Regions)

Warranty coverage is VOID if the damage is caused by:

  1. Misuse: Incorrect installation, reverse polarity, or exceeding voltage limits.

  2. Unauthorized Modification: This explicitly includes soldering, cutting pins, modifying the PCB, or flashing unauthorized/beta firmware that "bricks" the device.

  3. Physical Damage: Drops, moisture/water damage, or electrical surges (lightning).

  4. Normal Wear & Tear: Consumable parts (e.g., batteries), unless defective upon arrival.

Note: For non-warranty repairs (e.g., customer-induced damage), we may offer repair services for a fee. Shipping and diagnostic costs will be borne by the customer.

2. Return & Refund Policy

A. Return Window

  • Standard: You may request a return within 31 days of receiving your order.

B. Refund Conditions & Restocking Fees

To protect against policy abuse, the refund amount is strictly determined by the condition of the returned item.

1. Full Refund (100%)

  • The item is Brand New, Unopened, and Unused.

  • The original packaging is intact and sealed.

  • All accessories are present.

2. Partial Refund (Restocking Fee / Value Depreciation)
If the item is returned in a condition that prevents it from being sold as new, OpenELAB reserves the right to deduct a Restocking Fee (for US/Global) or Compensation for Loss of Value (for EU) from the refund amount.
Deductions apply if:

  • Signs of Use: Visible scratches, mounting marks on screw holes, or fingerprints.

  • Damaged Packaging: Original box is torn, written on, or missing.

  • Technical Modification: The device has been soldered, permanently installed, or flashed with unauthorized firmware.

  • Broken Seals: Anti-static bags or security seals have been opened.

Depending on the severity of the usage/damage, the deduction may range from 15% to 50% of the product price. Items damaged beyond repair due to misuse will not be refunded.

C. Shipping Costs

  • Defective / Wrong Item: OpenELAB covers the return shipping cost.

  • Customer Remorse (Changed Mind / Ordered Wrong Item): The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs to our designated return center (located in the US, Germany, or China, depending on your region). Original shipping fees are non-refundable unless required by local law.

3. Return Process (RMA)

To ensure a smooth return process, please follow these steps:

  1. Authorization: Contact us at info@openelab.io before returning any item. Returns without prior authorization will not be accepted.

  2. RMA Number: We will provide you with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and the correct return address.

  3. Packing: Ship the item back in its original packaging with the RMA number clearly marked on the shipping label (not on the product box).

Why Choose SwitchC6?

Reliable connectivity, seamless retrofits, and developer freedom — all in one compact module. Whether you’re upgrading a traditional light circuit or embedding smart control into a custom solution, SwitchC6 delivers robust performance with minimal installation effort.

Tips

Wiring

As shown in the sticker information and the above diagram, SwitchC6, as a single-live wire switch, needs to be connected between the live wire power supply and the load appliance. The left L-IN is close to the power source, and the right L-OUT is close to the load. The wires connected to the switch need to expose 10mm of metal, and the wire gauge should match the circuit's maximum load current. When wiring, first open the buckle, fully insert the metal wire end into the opening, and press the buckle tightly.

MAC Address Acquisition

The MAC address (equivalent to the product's unique ID) is shown on the sticker on the back of the product. As shown above, pull the small hook forcefully and lift the cover to see it. In addition, you can also program the master device to scan and read the MAC address included in the status information broadcasted by SwitchC6; the specific method is described in the Arduino development section.

Please note that during development, you need to convert the sticker's XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format into the XXXX-XXXX-XXXX format.

Charging Note

If the product has not been connected to the circuit for a long time, the built-in capacitor may slowly discharge until depleted. When reconnected to the circuit, it needs to complete charging before it can start working; this process may take several minutes.

Button Control

  • Short press once: Toggle the switch state, then broadcast status information (own MAC address, channel, new switch state, capacitor voltage, etc.).
  • Long press 5s: Broadcast status information (same as above).

Wireless Control

Program the main control device (such as M5Stack CoreS3, etc.) to communicate wirelessly with the SwitchC6 via ESP-NOW, enabling operations such as controlling switches and reading status. For detailed instructions, see Arduino Development Section, UiFlow2 Development Section.
