Installation of the Wemo Light Switch to the electrical line
If you’re familiar and comfortable with basic electrical work, it only takes a few minutes to set up your Wemo
Light Switch. Otherwise, do not try and do it yourself, please call a professional electrician.
Electrical Installation Requirements
A Neutral wire (requires all three AC electrical connections at the wall switch)
A single pole light switch (not compatible with lights controlled by more than one switch)
The light switch box must be 2inches deep
IMPORTANT: The Wemo Light Switch is not designed to work with metal faceplates because they
interfere with the Wi-Fi signal. It is recommended to use the light switch for residential and dry indoor
locations only.

Once these electrical requirements are complete, proceed with the electrical installation instructions below.
Step 1: Shut OFF the power at the circuit breaker for the switch you are replacing. You
may need to shut OFF more than one circuit breaker/switch to make sure the switch you're
working on is powered OFF.
IMPORTANT: USE A NON-CONTACT VOLTAGE DETECTOR OR FLIP YOUR
LIGHT SWITCH A FEW TIMES TO MAKE SURE THAT THE POWER IS OFF.
Step 2: Unscrew and disconnect the wires from the old switch using a screw driver.
Step 3: Identify the wires on your Wemo Light Switch.
Switch (Live/Load) wires - On this light switch, the Switch wires are the two
black wires. Every light switch will have both of these wires. But they could be
either red or black in color.
Neutral wire - The Wemo Light Switch requires this wire, but isn't always present
in your electrical wiring at home. If present, the neutral wire is normally found
within the wall box with a wire nut on top of it.
Ground wire - If present, it should be plugged into the top of the light switch
here. It's normally green or copper in color. Don't worry if you can't find the
ground wire, Wemo Light Switch doesn't require one.
WARNING! THE FOLLOWING WIRING SCENARIOS MAY BE DANGEROUS
OR ILLEGAL.

NOTE: For more details, see Wiring your Wemo® Wi-Fi Smart Light Switch, F7C030
Step 4: Install the Wemo Light Switch. Connect each of the two black wires from the
Wemo Light Switch to the available Switch (Live/Load) wires. In case you found more
than one wire, just place them into the wire nut.
NOTE: The wire nut is the cap-like object connecting the wires.
Step 5: If you have a Ground wire (optional), disconnect it from the old switch and
connect it to the green wire on the Wemo Light Switch.

Step 6: Unscrew the wire nut that is holding together the existing Neutral wires. Connect
the white wire from the Wemo Light Switch to the outlet's exposed Neutral
wires. Securely screw them together inside the wire nut.
IMPORTANT: Wrap electrical tape around the wire nuts to make sure the copper
conductor is fully concealed.
Step 7: Screw in the Wemo Light Switch and attach the faceplate. Push all the wires back
into the wall box and try to allow as much space for the switch as possible. Align the
two screw terminals and screw in the Wemo Light Switch. Attach the faceplate.
NOTE: Belkin discourages using metal faceplates as they may interfere with your Wi-Fi

signal.
Step 8: Turn the power back ON at your circuit breaker.
QUICK TIP: To verify that the Wemo Light Switch has been successfully installed to
your electrical line, manually switch it ON.
You have now installed the Wemo Light Switch to your electrical line.
IMPORTANT: If you have electrical concerns, please call a professional electrician and do not try
to do it by yourself.
