Setup instructions

WARNING! Risk of electric shock

Incorrect installation could be dangerous or illegal. You might need to turn oﬀ multiple breakers/fuses for safe

installation. Please call a professional electrician if you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with electrical work

1. Turn oﬀ the power

1. Shut oﬀ power to the switch you’re replacing at your fuse panel or circuit breaker

Conﬁrm that power is oﬀ

1. Remove the cover plate from the existing switch.

2. Use a voltage tester to test BOTH sides of the switch. You may need to turn oﬀ more than one

circuit breaker/fuse

2. Pull out existing switch

1. Unscrew the switch and gently pull it out of the wall.

2. Do not remove any of the wires yet

Pro Tip:

Take a picture of the wires in your wall to refer back to later

3. Look for NEUTRAL wires

NEUTRAL wires are usually white. If you have them, we will direct you to connect them later in step 7. If you

don’t have them, your house is not compatible with Wemo Smart Light Switch.

Note:

You may have a diﬀerent number of neutral wires than shown.

Test the NEUTRAL wires

Use a voltage tester to check that there is no power in the NEUTRAL wires from neighboring circuits. If

necessary, shut oﬀ additional circuits until no voltage is found

4. Identify your existing switch

Single pole

If one switch controls one light, it is a single-pole switch

3-way

If two switches control the same light, they are both 3-way switches

4-way

If three switches control the same light, the one with 5 screws is a 4-way switch. The other two are 3-way

switches.

Follow 3-way installation instructions

Wemo Smart Light Switch cannot replace a 4-way switch

5. Remove existing switch

Disconnect the LINE and LOAD wires (usually black) from the existing light switch.

Note: Your existing switch, wires, and electrical box may look diﬀerent and have diﬀerent colors

Disconnect the GROUND wire from the switch (usually bare copper or green). Remove wire nuts from the

white NEUTRAL wires

6. Prepare Wemo Smart Light Switch and wires

Grab the cover plate from the top and pull down to snap it oﬀ of the Wemo Smart Light Switch

Loosen the black and red screws on the Wemo Smart Light Switch with a screwdriver.

Options for connecting wires

1. Insert into holes

1. Insert the wire end into either of the holes near the screw.

2. Use a screwdriver to tightly screw the terminal screws back in. These will clamp down on the wire.

2. Hook around screw

1. Use pliers to bend the end of the wire clockwise. Hook it around the screw

2. Use a screwdriver to tightly screw the terminal screws back in

For the upcoming steps, choose your preferred option for connecting wires:

Note:

If needed, use pliers to strip the wire end to this length:

7. Connect LINE, LOAD, GROUND, and NEUTRAL wires

1. Connect the LINE and LOAD wires from the wall (usually black) to the black and red screws on the light

switch using your preferred method ( shown here).

Tighten each screw after inserting wire

Note:

Either wire can be connected to either screw.

Connect the GROUND wires (usually bare copper or green) from the wall to the green screw on the

switch

Connect the provided jumper wire from the silver screw on the light switch to the NEUTRAL wires in the

wall with a wire nut

8. Install Wemo Smart Light Switch into the wall

Almost done! Tug each wire to ensure they are securely connected

Carefully tuck the wires behind the switch and into the box. Screw the light switch into the wall. Be careful not

to over-tighten the screws

Pro Tip

Make sure to insulate any exposed wiring with electrical tape

Before snapping on the cover plate, you’ll notice an 8-digit setup code on the switch. You may need this during

app setup. You can also ﬁnd it in step 10 of this guide

Finally, snap the cover plate onto the switch

9. Turn on the power

Turn on power to your switch at your fuse panel or circuit breaker panel you turned oﬀ earlier.

Press the switch to put it in setup mode

1. The light will blink blue when it is ready

10. Add to the Apple Home app

Unlock your phone.

1. Hold the upper back of your phone at the center of the switch

2. Adjust your phone angle until setup prompts appear on your phone

3. Follow prompts

Don’t see the prompts?

Add a new accessory in the Apple Home app and manually enter this 8-digit HomeKit Setup Code

FINISH SIZE

Enjoy your Wemo Smart Light Switch

Control from Apple Home

Use the Home app to turn your Wemo on and oﬀ, share control, and organize your smart devices into

groups and rooms

Use voice with Siri

Make sure to name your Wemo how you’d like to call it. Then ask Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or HomePod

to turn your Wemo on or oﬀ

Create schedules and scenes

Set your switch to automatically turn on or oﬀ at a particular time of day or when you leave or arrive

home

Thread for quicker and more reliable control

Thread is a new wireless technology built into Wemo. It connects smart home devices more quickly and

reliably than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

To take advantage of it, you’ll need an Apple HomePod mini or the latest Apple TV 4K. If you don’t have one of

those, your Wemo will connect using Bluetooth. Learn more at wemo.com/thread
