      I,ve been using smarteffector with 3.3V but I am getting 9 flashes with a brand new v4 smarteffector with a duet3 5mini

      Could I wire it to 5v instead of 3.3V?

        @apak the smart effector works with both 3.3v or 5v

          I had fw 3.4.5 with 9 flashes

          I updated to 3.5.0 beta3 and it flashes 2 times

          So I guess it was a bug

            @apak it's not unusual for a Smart Effector to flash an error code immediately after startup, especially the first time after you install it. After a few seconds it usually switches to normal behaviour i.e. two flashes unless you have set a custom sensitivity. You will probably find that it works OK with firmware 3.4.5 now.

            If the problem happens again and it flashes nine times repeatedly, please get in touch and we will replace it under warranty.
