- Remove Existing Switch: Carefully remove the wall plate and unscrew the existing switch from the wall box. Disconnect the wires from the old switch.
- Identify Wires: You will typically find the following wires:
- LINE (Hot): Carries power from the circuit breaker.
- LOAD: Carries power to the light fixture.
- GROUND: Bare copper or green insulated wire.
- TRAVELER (for 3-way applications): Wires connecting two switches controlling the same light.
