INSTALLING YOUR SWITCH
- Before installing, connect a mobile device to your Wi-Fi network, then hold it next to where you plan to install your new switch. Make sure that the Wi-Fi signal is strong at that location before continuing.
- WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER. Turn off the power at the circuit breaker. Failure to do so can result in severe injury or death.
- Remove the old switch’s wall plate and mounting screws.
- Pull the old switch from the wall box and identify the wires attached to it:
- Neutral wire – Usually inside the wall box with a wire nut on the end. Not all light switches have this wire. DO NOT install the switch without this wire. This wire is typically white.
- Line wire – Typically a black wire that often comes from the bottom of the wall box.
- Load wire – Typically a red or black wire that often comes from the top of the wall box. This is the wire that connects to your light.
- Ground wire – Normally a copper or green color. You can still install the switch if you don’t have this wire.
Tip: Take a picture of the old switch’s wiring for later reference. - Disconnect your old light switch.
- Use a wire nut to connect the black wire from your switch to the line wire (typically black) in the wall box. This wire must always have power to it.
- Use a wire nut to connect the blue wire from your switch to the load wire in your wall box (typically a red or black wire).
