Wire Your Switch

Follow the steps below to wire your Smart Ceiling Fan Control and Dimmer Switch. If you are not familiar with basic electronical wiring, please consult an
electrician.

Before You Start

1. Prepare Baisc Knowledge of Wiring
• Neutral: Usually a bundle of white wires, not connected
to the old switch. They may be folded up in the very back of
your wallbox. If the old switch is smart, then the neutral wire
may be connected to the switch.
• Ground: Usually a green or bare copper wire.
• Line (Live/Hot): Usually black. One end is connected to the
circuit breaker, the other to your old switch.
• Load: Usually black or red. One end is connected to the
switch, the other to your electrical device.
Note: If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
2. Requirements
• Separate load wires for fan and light are required.
• A neutral wire is required to install the smart switch.
• The smart switch is designed for single-pole (one location)
wiring (not compatible with 3-way/multi-way switch wiring).
• Supported fan type: AC motor speed control (most pull-
chain ceiling fans) with a recommended rating of less than
60W.
• For optimal fan performance, please manually adjust the fan speed to the
highest settings with the independent speed control (e.g., pull chain) of your
fan.
• If you have an additional controller connected to your fan, remove it first.
• DO NOT use to control exhaust fans, DC motor fans, and fans with
integrated fan speed controls (i.e., fans with remote control or Bluetooth/
Wi-Fi enabled).
3. Prepare Your Tools
Prepare a philips and slotted screwdriver, pliers, wire strippers, a voltage
detector, and a pair of insulated gloves.
4. Check Wi-Fi Strength
Make sure your switch is in an area with strong Wi-Fi signal.
