Installing Your Dimmer

This section covers installation for lights with one wall switch (single-pole).

  1. 1. Turn Power Off at Circuit Breaker!

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

    Diagram Description: Shows a hand turning a circuit breaker switch to the 'OFF' position.

  2. 2. Remove Existing Switch from Wall

    Remove the wallplate from the switch. Then, remove the switch and pull it away from the wall, disconnecting all three wires* from the switch.

    Diagram Description: Shows a wallplate being removed from a wall, followed by a light switch being pulled out from the wallbox, revealing wires.

  3. 3. Remove Side Sections (If Necessary)

    Each dimmer has inside side sections that can be removed. 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.

    Maximum* Wattage Derating Chart (120 V~ 50/60 Hz)
    Side Sections Removed LED & CFL Incandescent & Halogen
    None 150 W 600 W
    1 side 150 W 500 W
    2 sides 150 W 400 W

    *For maximum wattage information when mixing light bulb types, see www.casetawireless.com/ganging.

    Diagram Description: Illustrates a dimmer unit with side sections intact, one removed, and both removed, explaining the impact on wattage.

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

    *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.

  4. 4. Connect the Dimmer

    1. Connect the bare copper (or green) "ground" wire from the wallbox to the green wire on the dimmer using a wire connector.

    2. Connect either of the remaining wires from the wallbox to either of the remaining wires on the dimmer using a second wire connector.

    3. Connect the remaining wire from the wall to the remaining wire on the dimmer using a third wire connector.

    Diagram Description: Shows the dimmer unit with its wires (green for ground, two others) and wires from the wallbox. It illustrates connecting the ground wire from the wallbox to the green wire on the dimmer. It also shows connecting the remaining two wires from the wallbox to the dimmer's remaining wires using wire connectors.

  5. 5. Mount the Dimmer

    Use the screws provided to mount the dimmer into the wallbox.

    Diagram Description: Shows the dimmer unit being inserted into the wallbox and secured with screws.

  6. 6. Attach the Wallplate

    Attach the adapter to the dimmer using the screws provided and snap on the wallplate.

    Diagram Description: Shows a wallplate adapter being attached to the dimmer with screws, followed by the main wallplate snapping into place.

    (If you installed the dimmer next to other dimmers or switches, you'll need to install a wallplate with the correct size/number of openings to accommodate all devices.)

  7. 7. Turn Power On at Circuit Breaker

    Diagram Description: Shows a hand turning a circuit breaker switch to the 'ON' position.
