4. Installation and Setup
4.1. Physical Installation
Step 1: Remove the Faceplate
Gently pry the button panel apart with your hands to remove the faceplate.
Image: Visual guide for the physical installation process of the smart switch.
Step 2: Connect the Wires
Connect the wires according to the appropriate wiring diagram below. The terminal without loads can be left unconnected.
4.1.1. Wiring for WiFi Switch (Neutral Wire Required)
Image: Wiring diagram for WiFi Smart Switch, requiring a neutral wire. Red is Live wire L, blue is Neutral wire N, yellow is lamp load wire.
4.1.2. Wiring for ZigBee Switch (Neutral Wire Optional)
Image: Wiring diagram for ZigBee Smart Switch, showing both neutral wire and single live wire configurations. Red is Live wire L, blue is Neutral wire N, yellow is lamp load wire.
Note: Before wiring, please check if the switch has an optional 'N' terminal or if the 'N' is a must. If the switch has an optional 'N', it means it can connect with or without a neutral wire, depending on the practical situation. Otherwise, the neutral wire is a must for the switch.
Capacitor Requirement for Single Live Wire (ZigBee Version): If the switch is not working normally with single live wire wiring (no neutral wire), it may be necessary to connect an extra capacitor in parallel with the lamp of L1.

6. Maintenance
- Clean the switch surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the switch is kept dry and away from excessive moisture.
- Regularly check for any loose connections or damage to the wiring. If any issues are found, consult a qualified electrician.
7. Troubleshooting
- Switch not responding / Not pairing: Ensure the switch is in pairing mode (blue and purple backlight flashing alternately). If not, long-press any button for 5 seconds to reset. For ZigBee versions, ensure the ZigBee gateway is properly connected and added to the app.
- LED bulb flickering (ZigBee version without neutral wire): If the LED bulb flickers when the switch is installed without a neutral wire, install an extra capacitor in parallel with the L1 lamp.
- ZigBee gateway connection failed: If the indicator light is solid purple, the ZigBee gateway connection has failed. Check your gateway's connection to the 2.4G Wi-Fi network and its status in the app.
- Switch not fitting in round installation box: The product is designed for standard EU wall boxes. Please verify your installation box dimensions for compatibility.
8. User Tips
- For optimal performance and stability, ensure your ZigBee gateway (if applicable) is within a reasonable range of your smart switches.
- Utilize the timing function to automate lights in areas like porches or hallways, enhancing security and energy efficiency.
- Experiment with different relay status settings to find what works best for your home in case of power interruptions.
- While the ZigBee version offers neutral wire flexibility, a neutral wire connection generally provides more stable operation.
