BEFORE YOU START
• Read through this Installation Guide in its entirety before starting
installation of your iDevices®Wall Switch or removal of your old
switches. Incorrect installation can be dangerous and can damage
your iDevices®Wall Switch or your home. The iDevices®
Wall Switch is intended to be installed by a qualied electrician.
• Visit our YouTube channel for tips on installation and setup:
www.youtube.com/user/iDevicesInc
• Turn OFF the power to the circuit you are working on at your
home’s breaker or fuse panel.
• Where ever possible, install the iDevices®Wall Switch in a non-
metallic gang box and use a non-metallic faceplate, as metal gang
boxes and faceplates can decrease the Wi-Fi®signal strength.
• Check that your mobile device is compatible with the iDevices®
Wall Switch at iDevicesinc.com/Compatibility
• It is YOUR responsibility to be sure that products are installed in
accordance with applicable building codes. Check with your local
building ofce if you have questions.
• Download the Free iDevices®Connected app.
