YOLINK YS5708-UC In-Wall Switch User Guide

YOLINK 4YS5708-UC In-Wall Switch

Product Information

The In-Wall Switch 2 (YS5708-UC) is a smart home automation device manufactured by YoLink. It is designed to connect to the internet via a YoLink hub (SpeakerHub or the original YoLink Hub) for remote access and full functionality. The In-Wall Switch 2 requires a neutral wire for proper operation and is not compatible with 3-way switches or 3-way style wiring. However, 3-way operation functionality can be achieved by using two YoLink Smart Switches paired with Control-D2D pairing.

Product Support Support

Your In-Wall Switch 2 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).
Do review the environmental limitations of the In-Wall Switch 2 prior to installation. The In-Wall Switch 2 is intended for indoor locations, only!
Do familiarize yourself with this user guide prior to beginning installation. Do ensure that you are comfortable working with electricity and handling the associated tools, or hire a qualified electrician to install your In-Wall Switch 2!
The In-Wall Switch 2 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.
The In-Wall Switch 2 is not compatible with 3-way switches or 3-way style wiring, but 3-way operation functionality can be accomplished using two YoLink Smart Switches, wired as standard switches, and paired using Control-D2D pairing. This pairing process is explained in the Control-D2D pairing section of the user guide.

Installation

1. 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

2. 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.

3. Before removing any wiring from the switch, identify the wires on the switch and in the electrical box:

4. 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:

5. 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 identify-ing 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.

6. Prepare to terminate (connect) the wires to the In-Wall Switch 2. Refer to Figure 1. The following wires should have been removed from the existing switch, ready to terminate on the new switch:

7. 1. Ground wire

8. Switch leg wire (to light/lights)

9. Hot/Line/Live wire
   If there are multiple neutral wires in the box, as shown in Figure 1, you may need to furnish a jumper wire, to connect the neutral wires to the In-Wall Switch 2. 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.

10. Each wire must have the end stripped (insulation removed) approximately ½ inch, and straight. Straighten or trim off any bare wire loops that were used on the existing switch.

11. Connect the wiring to the In-Wall Switch 2. Place the switch’s live (black) wire, and the live wire(s) in the box under one wirenut, twisting the wirenut until tight. “Wirenut” the remaining wires together, as shown in Figure 1.
    

12. Chech each wirenut connection by gently tugging on each wire, ensuring it does not pull out of the wirenut. Redo any connections that do not pass this test.

13. Gently push the wiring and the switch into the electrical box. Then, using the original or included screws, secure the In-Wall Switch 2 to the box, as shown in Figure 2A.

14. The In-Wall Switch 2 is shipped with a matching decorative trim plate (“faceplate”) and accompanying base plate. If installing the In-Wall Switch 2 in a new or existing multi-gang box, save or discard these plates, as they will not be used. After installing your own switch faceplate/trim, proceed to step 13. Otherwise, secure the base plate to the In-Wall Switch 2, using the two included faceplate screws, as shown in Figure 2B.

15. Snap the (outer) faceplate to the base plate, as shown.

16. Turn on power to the circuit by returning the circuit breaker to the on position (or reconnect power per your applicable circuit disconnection method).

17. Test the switch by turning it off and on and verifying the lights turn off and on with it.

18. Check the status of the switch in the app. It should be indicated as online.
