You can also type in the web address:https://www.youtube.com/**************************. Watching the video walkthrough is highly recommended. What Youll Need Non-contact voltage tester Wire nuts (also called twist-on wire connectors). Pliers Philips screwdriver Flathead screwdriver Insulated gloves CAUTION:

Only install the smart switch if you are familiar and comfortable with electrical work. If not, contact a qualified electrician. Improper installation can be very dangerous. Wear insulated gloves while installing the smart switch. Note: The smart switch is a multi-way switch, which means the smart switch is compatible with lights controlled by multiple switches. Checking Wires 1. Use the voltage tester to test a powered electrical cable to make sure the voltage tester is working. If the voltage tester lights up, its working. 2. To avoid electric shock, before installation, TURN OFF POWER by turning off the circuit breaker. Note: You may need to shut off more than one circuit breaker or switch to make sure the power is off. 3. Unscrew and remove the faceplate from the old light switch. 4. Use the voltage tester to test around the and off a few times to make sure that the power is OFF. The voltage tester should not light up, and the light should not turn on. 5. Unscrew and pull out the old light switch (without detaching the wires). 6. Check if the wiring in your house is compatible with the three-way switch, and you can check if your old 6 switch has five wire connections, two travel wires, one black wire, one white neutral wire, and one green grounding wire.Without these wires, it may not be compatible with the three-way smart switch.You can check other switches to confirm compatibility.You can also seek help from local electricians to run the new wiring. About the Wires Wire Nuts: These are the cap-like objects connecting wires together, also known as twist-on wire connectors. Traveler These wires connect the two wall switches together and allow power to pass between them. One of the two traveler wires is always energized when power is on.All multi-way switches have a traveler wire. LineLive switch A:This wire carries power into the circuit from the main service panel; this is the source of power for your light and will always be energized, regardless of how the switches are configured. switch B:This wire carries power from the switches to the light fixture; this wire will only be energized when the light fixture is on. All switches have a line wire CAUTION:

Never twine the load line and the line wire together or connect them both to the power line. Never connect the neutral wire with any other wire. Neutral Some old switches do not have a neutral line. However, a neutral wire is required to install the smart switch. This is because the smart switch needs to be powered on at all times to operate. If you cannot find a neutral line in your switch junction box, contact a qualified electrician to rewire the switch. 7 Ground A ground wire is not required for the smart switch to work, as not all switches need ground wires. However, if a ground wire is present, it must be connected to the smart switch. Removing the Old Light Switch 1. After taking off the faceplate and checking the wires, use the voltage tester again to test for any current around the wires. 2. Straighten out the 5 wires. 3. Unscrew a wire from the old light switch. Use pliers to straighten the wire. Then, screw a wire nut on that wire. 4. Follow the same steps for the other 4 wires.. Installing the Smart Switch 1. Make sure you understand the five 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 Connect the red traveler lines of the two switches.The connecting line can be in any color other than black. 4. Hook up the green wire to the ground wire, which is also usually green. 5. Connect the black wire of switch A to cable "L".Connect the black wire of switch B to the L end of the bulb. 6. 7. Connect the white line of the switch to the N line of the circuit, which is also usually white. 8. Push the wires and the wire nuts back into the wall (into the junction box). 9. 10. Snap the smart switch faceplate on tightly. Line up the smart switch and screw on the mounting screws. 8 11. Turn power back on at the circuit breaker, and test the light switch by turning it on. 12. Youve successfully installed your smart switch. 3. Add Device VeSync App Setup Note: The VeSync app and IFTTT app user interfaces may appear slightly different. A.

Press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds until the light indicator blinks blue rapidly then turns solid blue. 32 8. Troubleshooting Q: Why cant I connect my light switch to my WiFi network during setup?

Make sure your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. Smart light switches currently only support 2.4GHz WiFi networks during configuration, but you can use any available network, including cellular data networks, to control the switch from your phone once youve finished setting up... Try moving your router closer to your smart switch (164 ft / 50 m visible range is best). Make sure you have turned off MAC address filtering. Make sure you dont have too many devices connected to your router. Your router may have a limit of connected devices which can be turned off in your router settings.. Close and reopen the VeSync app. Clear your VeSync app cache. Factory reset your smart switch (see Factory Reset, page 28). Q: How do I change my WiFi network to a 2.4GHz WiFi network?

Most dual-band routers support both 2.4G and 5G networks. Select the WiFi name that does not end in "_5G". If your phone is attempting to connect to the 5G network, try "forgetting" or temporarily disabling the 5G network. Some routers hide the 2.4GHz WiFi network. If you have trouble finding or setting up your 2.4GHz network, please contact your router manufacturer for support.. Q: I already have another smart switch connected. Why won't this smart switch connect?

Close and relaunch the VeSync app, then reset the smart that is not connecting. Use APN Mode to set up the outlet (see page 5). Q: I could not find "VeSync_xxxx" access point when configuring the network. Press and hold the power button on the smart switch for 5-9 seconds to trigger Configuration Mode. The " VeSync_xxxx " access point will appear in your list of available WiFi connections. During Configuration Mode, the LED light on the outlet will slowly blink blue. You will have 10 minutes to pair the outlet with your phone. Q: My smart switch is offline. Delete the offline smart switch from the VeSync app. Swipe left (iOS) or tap and hold (Android), and tap Delete. Hard reset the smart switch by pressing and holding the power button for more than 20 seconds. The LED light will blink rapidly and turn solid blue. 33 Once the smart switch has been deleted and reset, reconfigure your smart switch with the VeSync app. Note: Power outages or changing WiFi routers may cause your smart switch to go offline. Q: Why won't the VeSync app let me add my smart switch?

If the smart switch is already added to another person's VeSync app, ask them to share the smart switch with you (see Share Your Smart Switch, page 19) so that you can control it with your VeSync account. Be sure your WiFi password is entered correctly. Use APN Mode (page 7). Make sure your smart switch firmware is up to date (see Firmware Updates, page 28). Factory reset your smart switch (see Factory Reset, page 28). Q: After adding my smart switch to VeSync, why won't the smart switch icon appear on the "My Home" screen of the VeSync app?

Refresh your My Home screen (by switching between screens or closing and reopening the app), and the switch icon should appear. Q: Alexa or Google Home can't find my app or can't discover my smart outlet. Make sure your wireless network router is close enough to your smart switch. The smart switch must be within a 164 ft (50 m) visible range from the router. Try moving your router closer to your light switch (164 ft / 50 m visible range is best). Check that your Alexa or Google Home is working properly. Try reconnecting to Alexa/Google Home. Q: Why isn't my smart switch turning on/off as scheduled?

Make sure that the schedule is still turned on. The toggle switch should look like

,not

. Make sure that your phone's Location Services are turned on. Make sure the smart switch is connected to a working network and is not offline. Q:

I believe my smart switch is defective. What should I do?
