Before We Start
Installing Orro is a straightforward process but it requires
handling high voltage wiring. Please be careful.
Hire a professional if you are not comfortable with the
installation or if you do not have the proper tools available.
Start the install during daylight or have a flashlight ready.
Switch installation requires your lights to be o.
Your rst time installing Orro may take up to 45 min.
You’ll get faster with each installation.

120V/60 Hz power is standard in residential homes in the USA and Canada.
Orro does not rely on WiFi to make lighting decisions. However, the
Switch must be connected to WiFi for setup, app based remote control,
enabling certain features, and getting updates.
Orro Switches are only intended to control lighting xtures. They are not
designed to control other appliances such as fans or vents. Furthermore,
Orro Switches are not intended to replace dual purpose switches such as
combined bathroom fan/vent and light switch, or a lighted ceiling fan.

your switch in a multi-switch gang box, turn o breakers for all switches.
Check the power is OFF by toggling
your light switches on and o.
Your lights should NOT turn on.
Turn o the circuit breaker for
the light switch you’re replacing.
