Installation Turn off the circuit that serves the switch at the circuit breaker panel (or other means of disconnecting the AC power to the circuit). Do NOT work on “hot” electrical wiring! Verify that power has been removed to the light switch, by testing the switch, and by using a multimeter or other type of voltage tester before removing any wires from the switch.
Page 13
Installation, Continued Line or Hot Wire: this wire is typically black, but can be red or another color, but if not it may be marked as the hot wire with black or red tape. One of the wires on the existing light switch should be the hot wire.
Page 14
Installation, Continued Identify each wire with a marker, tape or other labeling method, as desired, so they are not confused with each other during the wire termination step. Connect the Dimmer Switch’s “pigtail” wires (pre-installed colored wires, connected to the switch) to your identified wires.
Page 15
Installation, Continued Check each wiring connection by gently tugging on each conductor, ensuring it does not pull out of the wire-nut or appear loose. Re-do any that do not pass this test. Gently push the wiring and the switch into the electrical box, then secure the switch to the box using the included or existing screws (if more suitable for the box).

About Control-D2D (Device Pairing) YoLink Control-D2D (device-to-device) pairing is a feature unique to YoLink products. One device can be paired to one (or more) devices. When two or more devices are paired, a link is created, “locking-in” the behavior, so that the device(s) will...
Page 26
About Control-D2D, Continued How to Pair Two Devices: In this example, two Dimmer Switches will be paired to each other, to provide 3-way functionality. Start with both switches off. Choose one switch to act as a Controller. Turn on the Controller, then press the power button for 5 to 10 seconds until the green LED flashes.
Page 27
About Control-D2D, Continued If replacing existing 3-way switches with Dimmer Switches, the wiring may not immediately be compatible with the Dimmer Switch. The “traveler” wire will not be connected to either Dimmer Switch, but it may need to be changed to another function (such as to a neutral wire), so that each switch has a hot, neutral, ground, and at least one switch leg wire going to the controlled light(s).
Firmware Updates Your YoLink products are constantly being improved, with new features added. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your device's firmware.
