Please note: this is a quickstart guide, intended to get you started on the installation of your In-Wall Switch. Download the full Installation & User Guide by scanning this QR code:

Installation & User Guide

You can also find all guides and additional resources, such as videos and troubleshooting instructions, on the
In-Wall Switch Product Support page by scanning the QR code below or by visiting:
https://shop.yosmart.com/pages/in-wall-switch-product-support Your In-Wall Switch connects to the internet via a Yolink hub (SpeakerHub or the original YoLink Hub), and it does Not connect directly to your WiFi or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a hub is required. This guide assumes the Yolink app has been installed on your smartphone, and a Yolink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a Yolink wireless network).Please note: the In-Wall Switch requires a neutral wire! It will not function without a neutral wire. As explained in the Installation section, you must identify the neutral wire in the switch’s electrical box. If a neutral wire is not present, one must be installed. Consult with or hire a qualified and properly licensed electrician, as required.

Add Your In-Wall Switch V to theApp

Tap Add Device (if shown) or tap the scanner icon:
Approve access to your phone’s camera, if requested. A viewfinder will be shown on the app.

Hold the phone over the QR code so that the code appears in the viewfinder. If successful, the Add Device screen will be displayed. You can change the device name and assign it to a room later. Tap Bind device.

Installation

Turn off the circuit that serves the switch at the circuit breaker panel (or other means of disconnecting the AC power to the circuit). Do NOT work on “hot” electrical wiring! Verify that power has been removed to the light switch, by testing the switch, and by using a multimeter or other type of voltage tester before removing any wires from the switch. If replacing an existing switch, proceed to the next step. For new installations, skip ahead to step 8
Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the switch faceplate, then using a slotted or Phillips screwdriver, remove the switch and pull it away from the wall. Retain the screws; do not discard.
Before removing any wiring from the switch, identify the wires on the switch and in the electrical box:
** Ground wire: this wire is typically a bare copper wire, but it may have a green jacket (insulation), or it may have another color insulation with green tape identifying it as a ground. Additional means of identification are the wire is terminated on (connected to) a green screw on the switch, and/or the screw or wire connection has a designation such as “GND” and/or includes the universal earth ground icon: Line or Hot Wire: this wire is typically black, but can be red or another color, but if not it may be marked as the hot wire with black or red tape. One of the wires on the existing light switch should be the hot wire. Another way of identifying this wire is that it may be connected to other wires in the box. If the box contains multiple switches, for example, there will typically be a hot wire that connects to each switch. Observe each of the non-ground wires on the switch, looking for connections to other black
(or red) wires under a “wire-nut” or similar wire connector. Switch Leg Wire: this wire is typically black, but may be red or another color. This is the wire that is energized when the switch is on. After you have identified the ground and the hot wires on the existing switch, the remaining wire should be the switch leg wire. This wire can also be helpful in identifying the neutral wire. While the existing switch you are replacing with the Dimmer Switch may not have required a neutral wire, the light that it controlled does require a neutral wire. Follow the switch leg wire to its connections to another wire, or for it to join a “multi-conductor” cable (a larger jacketed cable with two or more different conductors within it). If the switch leg wire is in a yellow jacketed cable, for example, that also has a white and a bare copper wire with in it, this cable most-likely serves the existing light, and you have also identified the neutral wire. Neutral Wire:** this wire is typically white. As explained above, the light that is controlled by the existing switch will require a neutral wire, making it easier to identify if it is in the box. Otherwise, look for multiple white wires under one wire connector in the electrical box. If you find a white wire with black tape, this is likely a wire NOT used as a neutral; do not use this wire! If you are still unable to identify a neutral wire, stop and consult an electrician to have one installed, otherwise contact us regarding questions about returning your Dimmer Switch, if so desired.
Identify each wire with a marker, tape or other labeling method, as desired, so they are not confused with each other during the wire termination step.
After the wires on the existing switch have been identified (and labeled, if desired), remove them from the existing switch.
Prepare to terminate (connect) the wires to the In-Wall Switch. Refer to Figure l. The following wires should have been removed from the existing switch, ready to terminate on the new switch:
Ground wire
Switch leg wire (to light/lights) Hot/Line/Live wire
If there are multiple neutral wires in the box, as shown in Figure l, you may need to furnish a jumper wire, to connect the neutral wires to the In-Wall Switch. If you do not have wire on hand, if there is enough spare length or slack in the wires, you may be able to cut off a short section, to make a jumper wire.
Each wire must have the end stripped (insulation removed) approximately½ inch, and straight. Straighten or trim off any bare wire loops that were used on the existing switch.
Terminate the wiring on the In-Wall Switch. Insert the respective wire into the appropriate screw terminal on the switch: Neutral wire in Neutral terminal Hot/Live wire in Live terminal Switch leg/light wire in Load terminal Ground wire in Ground terminal
Check each wiring connection by gently tugging on each wire, ensuring it does not pull out of the screw terminal or appear loose. Redo any that do not pass this test.
Gently push the wiring and the switch into the electrical box. Then, using the original or included screws, secure the In-Wall Switch to the box.
If your In-Wall Switch is installed in a multi-gang box, save or discard the decorative trim plate. Otherwise, snap the plate over the switch, snap the plate over the switch.
Turn on power to the circuit by returning the circuit breaker to the on position (or reconnect power per your applicable circuit disconnection method).
Test the switch by turning it off and on and verifying the lights turn off and on with it.
Check the status of the switch in the app. It should be indicated as online.
