Installing the Smart Switch
1. Make sure you understand the four wires on
your smart switch. Check the labels on the
switch next to each wire.
2. Hook up the white wire to the neutral wire,
which is usually white as well, by screwing
on a wire nut tightly around the 2 wires.

Note: There will often be two neutral wires
already connected by a wire nut. Connect all the
neutral wires together with one wire nut.
3. For extra safety, wrap electrical tape
around the wires to make sure the copper
conductor is fully concealed.
4. Hook up the green wire to the ground wire,
which is also usually green.
5. Hook up the black line wire to the line wire,
which is usually black or red.
6. Hook up the black load wire to the load
wire, which may be any color except green.
7. Push the wires and the wire nuts back into
the wall (into the junction box).
8. Line up the smart switch and screw on the
mounting screws.
9. Snap the smart switch faceplate on tightly.
10. Turn power back on at the circuit breaker,
and test the light switch by turning it on.
11. You’ve successfully installed your smart
switch.
