Why Does My Smart Light Switch Not Work After Installation?
Most smart switches fail after install due to wiring mistakes, missing neutrals, incompatible bulbs, or incomplete Wi‑Fi/app setup. We install and configure smart switches, dimmers, and occupancy sensors with app and voice control over Wi‑Fi, so we see these issues often.
Quick checks:
- Confirm line, load, and neutral are on the correct terminals.
- Verify a neutral is present (many smart switches require it).
- Check breaker on, bulb type/wattage compatibility, and that faceplate is seated.
- Pair on 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi and finish app setup/updates.
- Reset and re‑add if it still won’t respond.
