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 qualied 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 rst.
• 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.
6
Wire Your Switch
Turn o the light and fan of the old switch and turn o the circuit
breaker. Remove the wallplate of your old switch and use a voltage
detector to conrm that all power is o.
Unscrew the old switch and pull it out. Use a voltage detector to
test all the wires to conrm that all power is o.
Step 1. Turn O Power and Remove the Wallplate
CAUTION
Risk of Electric Shocks - High Voltage - Disconnect power supply
at the circuit breaker before servicing.

1) Identify and label the Ground and Neutral wires in the wall box.
2) Identify the Line, Fan Load, and Lighting Load wires of the old
switch according to their wire colors and the existing marks, if any,
and label them with the provided wire labels.
3) Take a photo of the old switch wiring conditions for later
reference.
Step 3. Identify the Wires
1) Turn on the circuit breaker. Make sure your old light and fan
switch is turned o.
2) Use a voltage detector to identify the energized wire (Line wire).
Note: If you nd more than one wire is energized, please refer to:
https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/3682/
3) Turn o the circuit breaker. Label the energized wire as the Line
wire.
Step 4. Identify the Line Wire

Disconnect all wires from the old switch, and connect them to the
smart switch as below. Check that all the wires are correct. Pull
gently to make sure each wire is secure.
Step 6. Remove Old Switch
1) Turn on your light switch, turn o your fan switch, and turn on the
circuit breaker to see that your light is working.
2) Use a voltage detector to identify the energized wire among the
two load wires. This should be the load wire of your light switch.
3) Turn o the circuit breaker and the light switch. Label the
energized wire as Lighting Load. Then label the other one as Fan
Load.
