If you are not familiar with basic electronical wiring, please consult an electrician. Before you start, follow these steps:

1. Prepare Basic knowledge of Wiring

Ground: Usually green or copper.

Neutral: Usually white, not connected to the dumb switch.

Line: Usually black and coming from the circuit breaker.

Load: Usually black. One end is connected to the light.

Note: If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

2. Prepare Your Tools

Prepare a philips and slotted screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers and a voltage detector.

3. Check Wi-Fi Strength

Make sure your switch is in an area with strong Wi-Fi signal.

Step 1. Turn Off Power and Remove the Wallplate

Turn off the circuit breaker. Then remove the old wallplate of the wall switch and label the wires.

Step 2. Expose Your Switch Wiring

Remove the screws securing your old switch to the wall box. Gently pull the switch out and disconnect wires from the old switch.

Step 3. Identify Line and Load wires

1) Turn on the circuit breaker. Use a voltage detector to identify the energized wire (Line wire).

2) Turn off the circuit breaker. Label the Line and Load wires.

Step 4. Connect the Wires

Connect the wires to the smart dimmer switch as shown in the guide. The ground wire connects to the ground terminal, the neutral wire from the power source connects to the neutral terminal, the line wire connects to the line terminal, and the load wire connects to the load terminal.

Step 5. Install Your Smart Dimmer

Gently fold all of the wires back into the wall box. Line up the switch with the mounting holes. Secure it with screws.

Step 6. Attach the Wallplate and Turn on Power

Attach the wallplate and turn on the circuit breaker. Then the wiring is finished.

Follow the steps below to set up your dimmer switch:

CAUTION – Risk of Electric Shock – More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment and luminaire before servicing. A circuit breaker which disconnects the Line and Neutral conductor simultaneously is suitable. Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or installing any switch. Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure the power is off.
