Setup and Installation
Safety Precautions
- Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before beginning any electrical work.
- If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified electrician.
- Ensure your electrical box has a neutral wire. This dimmer switch requires a neutral wire for operation.
Identifying a Neutral Wire
Before installation, verify the presence of a neutral wire in your switch box. A neutral wire is typically white. If no neutral wire is present, this dimmer switch will not function.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Dimmer not responding / No power | No neutral wire; Power off at breaker; Loose wiring. | Verify neutral wire presence. Check circuit breaker. Re-check wiring connections. |
| Lights flickering or buzzing | Non-dimmable bulbs; Incompatible dimmable bulbs; Overloaded circuit. | Ensure all bulbs are dimmable LEDs. Try different brand of dimmable LED bulbs. Check total wattage does not exceed dimmer's maximum rating. |
| Cannot connect to Wi-Fi / App issues | Incorrect Wi-Fi band (not 2.4GHz); Incorrect pairing procedure; Weak Wi-Fi signal. | Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz network. Follow app pairing instructions carefully. Move closer to router or improve Wi-Fi signal. |
| 3-way/4-way wiring not working | Incorrect wiring for multi-way setup; Defective switch. | Review wiring diagrams for 3-way/4-way configurations. Ensure only one smart dimmer is on the line side for 3-way, or two smart dimmers for specific 3-way setups. Consult an electrician if issues persist. |
