Getting to know your new Wi-Fi Smart Switch
• Turn ON/OFF manually or through the myTouchSmart app
• Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home
• May be used in single-pole installation or 3-way
wiring configurations
• Compatible with all incandescent, LED, CFL and
halogen lights
• Interchangeable paddle switch — white & light
almond included
• Uses a standard, decorative-size wallplate for single-gang
installations (wallplate not included)
• Screw terminal installation — requires wiring connections
for line (hot), load, neutral and ground. Traveler wire
required for 3-way installation
Required tools
IMPORTANT!
The fixture controlled by the Wi-FI Smart Switch must not
exceed 1000W incandescent.
1.
3-way switch wiring
IMPORTANT!
3-way switches can be wired in different ways. These instructions explain the most
common method. If you have difficulty with the instructions or your home wiring, contact
a licensed electrician for assistance.
1. Shut off power to the circuit at circuit breaker or fuse box.
IMPORTANT! Verify power to switch is OFF box before continuing.
2. Remove wallplate.
3. Remove the switch mounting screws.
4. Carefully remove switch from box. DO NOT disconnect the wires yet.
5. Identify “line switch” connected to circuit breaker. Label
wire connected to common terminal “line.”
6. Identify “load switch” connected to lighting/fixture. Label
wire connected to common terminal “load.”
Wire strip length
For attachment using the enclosure’s holes, strip insulation 5/8in. (16mm).
UL specifies that the torque for the screws is 12 lbf-in. (14 Kgf-cm).
Installing the switch on the line side
1. Disconnect the black wire from the black terminal and the
black wire from the brass terminal from the existing switch.
2. Attach the included white jumper wire to the
black wires using the provided wire nut.
3. Connect the free end of the white jumper wire
to the black screw on your existing switch.
Your wires should now look like Figure 2.
4. Carefully replace the switch into the box ensuring
the wires are not pinched or crushed. Secure
the switch using the mounting screws.
Installing the timer on the load side
1. Remove the switch you intend to replace from the wall
and label the wires for future reference (see Figure 3).
2. Connect the load wire to the load terminal on the timer. All
terminal screws should be tightened to 12lbf-in. (14Kgf-cm).
3. Connect the line wire to the line terminal on your timer.
4. Connect the copper or green ground wire
to your timer’s ground terminal.
5. Connect the traveler wire, most likely red, to
the traveler terminal on your timer.
6. Connect the neutral wire from the switch box to the
neutral terminal of the timer. There may be several
neutral wires bound together with a wire nut in
the back of the switch box. Add the neutral jumper
wire to the bundle and tighten the wire nut.
7. Install timer into wire box.
8. Turn breaker on.
9. The blue indicator light located under the ON/OFF
paddle should blink rapidly. If the blue light is not
flashing on, turn off the breaker, verify there is no
power to the Wi-Fi timer, switch the wires in the line
and traveler terminals, and tighten the screws.
10. Reinstall the Wi-Fi timer in the switch box.
11. Turn on breaker.
12. Verify the blue indicator light blinks rapidly.
Single-switch wiring
Removing existing switch
Before you start, you may wish to change the paddle color to
match your wallplate or décor. Please return to Section 3.
A. Shut off power to the circuit at circuit breaker or fuse box.
IMPORTANT! Verify power to switch box is OFF before continuing.
B. Remove wallplate.
C. Remove the switch mounting screws.
D. Carefully remove the switch from the switch
box. DO NOT disconnect the wires.
Up to five screw terminals on the switch are marked:
a. GROUND — Green/Bare.
b. LOAD — Black (connected to lighting).
c. LINE (Hot) — Black (connected to power).
d. TRAVELER — Red.
e. NEUTRAL — White.
Match these screw terminals to the wires connected to the existing switch.
E. Disconnect the wires from the existing switch. Label wires
according to the previous terminal connection.
Installation
Wire strip length:
For attachment using the enclosure’s hole,: strip insulation 5/8in. (16mm)
UL specifies that the tightening torque for the screws is 12 lbf-in (14 Kgf-cm).
F. Connect the green or bare copper ground wire to the ground terminal.
I. Connect the black wire that goes to the light to the terminal marked load.
II. Connect the black wire that comes from the electrical
service panel (hot) to the terminal marked line.
III. Connect the white wire to the neutral terminal (use a
jumper wire if needed). Often, the neutral wire can be found
in the back of the switch box connected with a wire nut.
There may be several neutral wires bound together.
Note:
The traveler terminal is only used for 3-way installations.
V. Insert switch into the switch box being careful not to pinch or crush wires.
G. Secure the switch to the box using the supplied screws.
H. Mount the wallplate. Reapply power to the circuit at fuse box
or circuit breaker and test the system.
The blue indicator light located under the ON/OFF paddle
should blink rapidly. If the blue light is not flashing on, turn off
the breaker, verify there is no power to the Wi-Fi timer, switch the
wires in the line and traveler terminals, and tighten the screws.

In a typical 3-way application there are two 3-way switches. The switch on the line (hot)
side has the common terminal tied to 120VAC. The switch on the load side has the
common terminal tied to the load the switches turn on and off.

blade screwdriver into
either groove at the
top of the paddle, and
apply gentle pressure
to remove the paddle.
2. Align the new paddle
with the bottom of
the Wi-Fi device and
