Once these electrical requirements are complete, proceed with the electrical installation instructions below.
Step 1: Shut OFF the power at the circuit breaker for the switch you are replacing. You
may need to shut OFF more than one circuit breaker/switch to make sure the switch you're
working on is powered OFF.
IMPORTANT: USE A NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE DETECTOR OR FLIP YOUR
LIGHT SWITCH A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER IS OFF.
Step 2: Unscrew and disconnect the wires from the old switch using a screw driver.
Step 3: Identify the wires on your Wemo Light Switch.

Switch (Live/Load) wires - On this light switch, the Switch wires are the two
black wires. Every light switch will have both of these wires. But they could be
either red or black in color.

Neutral wire - The Wemo Light Switch requires this wire, but isn't always present
in your electrical wiring at home. If present, the neutral wire is normally found
within the wall box with a wire nut on top of it.

Ground wire - If present, it should be plugged into the top of the light switch
here. It's normally green or copper in color. Don't worry if you can't find the
ground wire, Wemo Light Switch doesn't require one.
