Installation Guide: Single Pole Switch

WARNING: SHOCK HAZARD. May result in serious injury or death. Turn off power at circuit breaker or fuse before installing.

  1. Turn Power Off at Circuit Breaker

    [Power OFF] Turn power off at circuit breaker!

  2. Remove Existing Switch from Wall

    Remove the wallplate from switch. Remove the switch and pull it away from the wall. Disconnect all three wires* from the switch.

    *If your switch has more than 3 wires attached, see the "Installing Caséta Wireless in a 3-way switch application" video at www.casetawireless.com/3way.

    Important Note: Some lights have one wall switch, while others have two or more wall switches (such as stair lights). This guide is for single-pole (one switch) lights. For 3-way switches, visit www.casetawireless.com/3way for complete instructions.

  3. Remove Side Sections (If Necessary)

    For ganged installations (dimmer next to other devices), remove the inner side sections of the dimmer. The dimmer at the middle of a gang has all side sections removed. Do not remove outside side sections on dimmers at the end of a gang.

    Important Note: Removing side sections reduces the dimmer's maximum wattage rating. See the chart below for maximum wattage information.
