## **Step 1: Turn Off Power** Go to your circuit breaker and switch off the power to the light you’ll be working on. Safety first! **Step 2: Remove Old Switch** Unscrew the wall plate, then carefully disconnect the existing switch. **Step 3: Identify Wires** You’ll usually see line (power), load (to the light), neutral (often white), and ground (green or bare). Make sure you know which is which. **Step 4: Connect Smart Switch** Attach the wires to the smart switch according to the instructions—line to line, load to load, neutral to neutral, ground to ground. **Step 5: Secure and Mount** Push the wires neatly back into the box, screw the smart switch in place, and reattach the wall plate. **Step 6: Restore Power** Turn the breaker back on and test the switch. **Step 7: Set Up App** Download the manufacturer’s app, connect your switch to Wi-Fi, and finish setup. ✅ **Done:** You now have smart lighting that can be controlled by app, schedule, or even voice assistants. ![a0f40e13e6e0499972d94cafc2231494 (2)](https://renovation-reviews.storage.googleapis.com/original/2X/b/bf8815396cab64d8f150983552fac677034dcf28.jpeg) ---
