Smart Control for Linear Actuators: MHCOZY WiFi + FIRGELLI FCB-2 Integration

Linear actuators are becoming essential for everything from smart homes and hidden furniture to camper van upgrades and industrial automation.
Today, we're showing you how to control your actuators remotely over WiFi using a MHCOZY WiFi relay — and how to take it even further by combining the MHCOZY with the powerful FIRGELLI FCB-2 actuator controller.

This setup gives you the best of both worlds: simple wireless control and full actuator management including synchronization, speed control, limit setting, and more.
If you want reliable, professional-grade automation, this guide is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How to wire a MHCOZY directly to a linear actuator

  • How to wire a MHCOZY to the FIRGELLI FCB-2 controller

  • Why combining the MHCOZY and FCB-2 offers unmatched control

  • How to create a complete smart actuator system

  • Why FIRGELLI actuators are the best choice for your automation projects

Wiring Diagrams

Here are the simple wiring diagrams you’ll need to follow:

1. MHCOZY Relay Connected Directly to a Linear Actuator

In this basic setup, the MHCOZY relay acts as a simple switch to extend and retract the actuator remotely over WiFi or RF.

2. MHCOZY Relay Connected to the FIRGELLI FCB-2 Controller

Here, the MHCOZY triggers the FCB-2 controller, which manages one or up to four actuators simultaneously — adding advanced features like speed control, stroke limit settings, synchronization, and more.

How to Wire the MHCOZY to a Linear Actuator (Simple Setup)

  1. Connect the actuator’s motor wires to the two output terminals of the MHCOZY relay.

  2. Power the MHCOZY with a suitable 12V–24V DC power supply.

  3. Use the Smart Life app or included RF remote to extend and retract the actuator remotely.

✅ Result:
You can control the actuator wirelessly, but only basic extend/retract functionality is available.
There is no speed control, no stroke limiting, and no synchronization with this simple setup.

How to Wire the MHCOZY to the FIRGELLI FCB-2 Controller (Advanced Setup)

  1. Connect your actuator(s) to the M1–M4 terminals on the FCB-2 controller.

  2. Wire the MHCOZY relay output to the FCB-2’s switch input terminals (UP and DOWN).

  3. Power both the MHCOZY and the FCB-2 controller with the same 12V–24V DC power supply.

  4. Use the Smart Life app, RF remote, or FCB-2 handheld remote to control motion.

  5. (Optional) Connect Hall sensor feedback wires for perfect actuator synchronization.

✅ Result:
Now you get full control over your actuator system:

  • Adjust actuator speed

  • Set custom stroke lengths without mechanical limit switches

  • Program limit stops electronically

  • Use built-in timer functions (e.g., auto-stop, repeat cycles)

  • Synchronize up to four actuators perfectly

  • Use feedback-equipped actuators for precise positioning

Why Use the FIRGELLI FCB-2 Controller?

While the MHCOZY relay is great for simple remote control, adding the FIRGELLI FCB-2 controller unlocks professional-level features, making your system much safer, smarter, and more versatile.

Benefits of Adding the FCB-2:

  • 🕹️ Simple handheld remote included for local manual control

  • ⚙️ Adjustable actuator speed settings

  • 📏 Set custom stroke lengths easily

  • 🛑 Electronic limit stops prevent actuator over-travel

  • 🔄 Synchronize up to 4 actuators perfectly, even with uneven loads

  • 📡 Supports actuators with built-in Hall sensor feedback

  • ⏱️ Timer functions for automated movement cycles

  • 🔌 Easy trigger input from WiFi relays, physical switches, or remote systems

  • 🔧 Industrial-grade reliability for both light-duty and heavy-duty applications

In short:
Using the FCB-2 makes your actuator system behave more like a professional industrial setup — with no complicated programming required.
