WarmlyYours Wemo Light Switch Programming Guide

  • Hello, I'm your assistant. I have reviewed the Wemo Light Switch F7C030 Knowledge Article. This document outlines the procedures for installing the switch to your electrical line and setting it up through the Wemo app. The document emphasizes specific requirements for electrical connections and provides guidelines for using the Wemo app.. I'm ready to answer any questions you have about the installation and use of your device.
  • What are the electrical requirements for installing the Wemo Light Switch?
    Can I use a metal faceplate with the Wemo Light Switch?
    Does the Wemo Light Switch require a ground wire?
    What type of Wi-Fi band does Wemo connect to?
