Setup
1. Pre-installation Checks
- Verify that you have an Aqara Hub (M2 or M1S) and a stable 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
- Confirm that your existing wiring does not include a neutral wire, as this model is designed for 'No Neutral' installations. If you have a neutral wire (usually white), you may need the 'With Neutral' version of the Aqara Smart Wall Switch.
- This product is designed to replace a single pole switch only, not a 3-way switch.

2. Wiring Instructions
Before proceeding, turn off the circuit breaker controlling the light switch you intend to replace. Unscrew the existing wall switch and carefully check the wiring behind it.

If you have a white wire, it is likely a neutral (N) wire. This 'No Neutral' version of the switch does not require a neutral wire. If you have a neutral wire and do not intend to use it, please isolate it with an insulating cap or tape.
3. Pairing with Aqara Hub and App
- Download the Aqara Home app from your device's app store.
- Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your Aqara Hub.
- Once the hub is set up, select 'Add Accessory' or '+' in the Aqara Home app.
- Follow the app's instructions to put the Smart Light Switch into pairing mode and complete the connection.
- The Aqara M2 or M1S Hub can connect up to 128 devices. For larger networks, a repeater (such as the Aqara Smart Plug or Aqara Smart Wall Switch with Neutral) may be required.
