5. Installation (Setup)

Before beginning installation, ensure you have read and understood the safety information.

1. Turn Off Power: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch box you are replacing. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Remove Old Switch: Carefully remove the faceplate and unscrew the old switch from the wall box. Disconnect the wires.
3. Wiring: This MOES smart switch requires only a live wire (single fire) and does not need a neutral wire or a capacitor. Connect the live wire from your electrical box to the 'L' terminal on the smart switch and the load wire (to the light fixture) to the 'L1' (for 1-gang) or 'L1', 'L2' (for 2-gang) terminal. Ensure all connections are secure.
4. Mount the Switch: Gently push the wired smart switch into the wall box and secure it with the provided screws.
5. Attach Faceplate: Snap the new faceplate onto the switch.
6. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Important Installation Notes:

• Wi-Fi Network: The switch only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks. It is not compatible with 5GHz networks.
• Single Pole Use: This switch is designed for single-pole applications only. It cannot be used in 3-way switch configurations (where two switches control one light).
• Bulb Power: The connected light bulb's power must be greater than 5W for proper operation.
• No Neutral Wire/Capacitor: This switch is specifically designed to operate without a neutral wire or an external capacitor, simplifying installation and preventing capacitor-related noise.
