The light switch box must be
2
inches
deep
IMPORTANT:
The Wemo Light Switch is not designed to work with metal faceplates
because they interfere with the WiFi signal. It is recommended to use the light
switch for residential and dry indoor locations only.
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 NONCONTACT 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.
