Does anyone know if quinetic wireless units (switches/receivers) retain the memory after the power is cut, and if so for how long?

Two ways:Thanks again all. A customer wants 6 of these fitted rather than channel out her walls.
Just to clarify, I do recall reading on here a while ago someone saying that occasionally the switches can end up in the wrong position, not of course an issue for 2 way lighting, but not great for one way switches. When/if this happens, how is this corrected?
If all else fails, flick the Mcb for the circuit, pop the switch in correct position and energise the circuit again.Thanks again all. A customer wants 6 of these fitted rather than channel out her walls.

If you're putting in the WiFi models you can just turn on/off from app or alexa or whatever you're using, and the switch will remain in whatever position it was left in.If all else fails, flick the Mcb for the circuit, pop the switch in correct position and energise the circuit again.

Sorry Steve. Didn't see your reply mate.Two ways:
(1) Turn switches to "off" position. Turn off power to circuit (i.e. at circuit breaker/RCBO). Restore power. Now, "off" is "off".
(2) Flick the switch on-off really quickly. If you're fast enough, the receiver only registers one of the switch actions, and the switch behaves the other way round.
helloI have fitted 4 in the same house before with no issues. if that happened you just switch the switch the other way and it should sort itself out!
I've fitted hundreds of them over the years and they are bulletproof, only had 1controler die on me and that was because the customer added more lights without consulting me and the unit was too small to switch the load.
I have had 1 switch fail 5 years after I fitted it and that was I think due to the amount of times it was used( on a farm too)
