- Connect the Line wire to the 'Line' terminal on the smart switch.
- Connect the Load wire to the 'Load' terminal on the smart switch.
- Connect the Neutral wire to the 'Neutral' terminal on the smart switch.
- Connect the Ground wire to the 'Ground' terminal on the smart switch.
- Mount Switch: Gently push the wired switch into the wall box and secure it with screws. Attach the new faceplate.
- Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker. The indicator light on the smart switch should illuminate.
