Wire Your Switch

Before You Start:

• Wiring Knowledge: Understand Neutral, Ground, Line (Live/Hot), and Load wires. Consult an electrician if unsure.
• Requirements: Separate load wires for fan and light, a neutral wire, single-pole wiring (not 3-way compatible), and support for AC motor speed control fans (under 60W).
• Tools: Phillips and slotted screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, voltage detector, insulated gloves.
• Wi-Fi Strength: Ensure strong Wi-Fi signal at the installation location.

Wiring Steps:

1. Turn Off Power: Turn off the light and fan, and the circuit breaker. Confirm power is off with a voltage detector. Remove the wallplate.
2. Pull Out Old Switch: Unscrew and pull out the old switch. Test wires with a voltage detector.
3. Identify Wires: Label Ground and Neutral wires. Identify Line, Fan Load, and Lighting Load wires based on color and existing marks. Take a photo of the wiring.
4. Identify Line Wire: Turn on the circuit breaker. Use a voltage detector to find the energized wire (Line wire). Turn off the breaker and label it.
5. Identify Load Wires: Turn on the light switch and circuit breaker. Use a voltage detector to identify the light load wire. Turn off the breaker and light switch. Label the energized wire as Lighting Load and the other as Fan Load.
6. Remove Old Switch: Disconnect wires from the old switch and connect them to the smart switch, ensuring each wire is secure.
7. Install Smart Switch: Align the smart switch with mounting holes, secure with screws, ensure the UP arrow on the back points up, and attach the wallplate. Turn on the circuit breaker.
