5. Installation and Setup

5.1 Pre-installation Checklist

• Verify your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. 5GHz networks are not supported.
• Ensure the bulbs connected to the switch have a rated power of 5W or higher.
• Confirm you are not attempting to install this as a 3-way switch.
• Have the included capacitor ready.

5.2 Wiring Instructions

1. Turn off Power: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you are replacing. Verify power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Remove Old Switch: Carefully remove your existing wall switch from the wall box.
3. Connect Capacitor: The included capacitor is essential for stable operation with no neutral wire. Connect the capacitor across the two terminals of the light bulb (in parallel with the load). This helps prevent flickering and ensures proper functionality.
4. Wire the Smart Switch:
   • Connect the live wire (L) from your electrical box to the 'L IN' terminal on the MoesGo switch.
   • Connect the load wire (L1) going to your light fixture to the 'L OUT' terminal on the MoesGo switch.
   • Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Mount the Switch: Gently push the wired switch into the wall box and secure it with the provided screws. Attach the glass panel.
6. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

8. Troubleshooting

• Switch Not Responding:
  • Check if the circuit breaker is ON.
  • Ensure the wiring is correct and secure.
  • Verify the capacitor is properly installed across the bulb terminals.
• Light Flickering:
  • This often indicates an issue with the capacitor installation or an incompatible bulb. Ensure the capacitor is correctly wired and the bulb meets the 5W minimum power requirement.
• Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi:
  • Confirm your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz.
  • Ensure the switch is in pairing mode (rapidly blinking indicator light).
  • Check your Wi-Fi password for accuracy.
  • Move the switch closer to your Wi-Fi router during pairing.
• Faint Humming Sound:
  • A faint humming sound from the capacitor is normal for no-neutral switches. If the sound is loud or concerning, recheck the capacitor installation and bulb compatibility.
• RF433 Remote Pairing Issues:
  • Ensure the switch is in RF pairing mode via the app.
  • Press remote buttons with a one-second delay between presses.
  • Verify the remote uses 1527 encoding.
