6. Installation

Follow these steps carefully to install your MOES Smart Light Switch. Ensure power is OFF at the circuit breaker before proceeding.

1. Turn Off Power: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you are replacing. Verify the power is off using a voltage tester.
2. Remove Old Switch: Unscrew and carefully pull the old switch out of the wall box. Disconnect the wires.
3. Identify Wires: Identify the Line/Hot wire (usually black), Load wire (usually red or black), and Ground wire (usually green or bare copper). This switch does NOT require a neutral wire.
4. Wire the Smart Switch: Connect the wires from your wall box to the corresponding wires on the MOES Smart Light Switch using wire nuts:
   • Connect the Line/Hot wire to the switch's L terminal.
   • Connect the Load wire to the switch's L1 terminal.
   • Connect the Ground wire to the switch's GND terminal.

6. Install Wall Plate: Attach the wall plate.
7. Restore Power: Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker.

Note: This switch is designed for single-pole circuits only. It does not require a neutral wire or capacitor for normal operation, which differentiates it from some traditional smart switches.
