What the Rako RMS-800 is

The Rako RMS-800 is an 800VA switching module for Rako wireless systems. It switches rather than dims, so it suits non-dimmable lighting, fans, pumps and contactors. For dimmable lighting, use a trailing-edge module such as the RMT-500 or a leading-edge module such as the RML-500.

Where it sits in a Rako system

The RMS-800 is controlled from any Rako wireless transmitter, such as an RK-EOS-6 keypad or the RK-HUB, and stores up to 16 scenes. Program it from a Rako keypad, or with RASOFT Pro through a RAMPI or Hub. Rako recommends a WRB100 repeater where reception is intermittent. See all Rako wireless modules.

Power and connection

It runs from a 230V AC 50Hz supply, with 3-way screw terminals for input and output that take cable up to 4mm². It communicates by FM radio at 433.9MHz. Rako's RMS-800 instruction manual covers installation, which should be done by a competent electrician.

Rako app

Scenes from the keypad, and from the phone

This product sits in a Rako system. The keypad on the wall runs the room. With an RK-HUB or WK-HUB, the same scenes also run from the free Rako app.

  • Room scenes from the keypad on the wall
  • App control once an RK-HUB or WK-HUB is on the network
  • Voice, timers and holiday mode from the Hub

The Rako app is published by Rako, and needs an RK-HUB or WK-HUB with firmware 3.7.6 or later.
