Wire Your 3-Way Dimmer
*You can find step-by-step instructions in the Kasa Smart app.
-
Turn off the circuit breaker. Then remove the two wallplates. Your dumb switches might look like this.
-
Get to know the wires.
Line (Live/Hot): Usually black. One end is connected to the circuit breaker, the other to your FIRST 3-Way switch. Load: Usually black. One end is connected to the light fixture, the other to your SECOND 3-Way switch. Traveler 1 / 2: Usually one is black and the other is red. Neutral: Usually a bundle of white wires, not connected to the dumb switch. They may be folded up in the very back. Ground: Usually green or copper. -
Label the Traveler wires in the two wallboxes.
Note: Apply the same label to the same color wires in two wallboxes. For example, label the red wire as Traveler 1. And do not cross Traveler 1 and Traveler 2 wires between two wallboxes in later connection. -
Only disconnect the Line/Load wires from the two dumb switches, then cover them with provided wire nuts for safety.
-
Identify Line and Load wires in the two wallboxes.
-
Turn on the circuit breaker. Use a voltage detector to identify the energized wire (Line wire).
-
Turn off the circuit breaker and label the Line wire. This is the wallbox for the main dimmer.
-
Label the other wire in the other wallbox as Load wire. This is the wallbox for the satellite dimmer.
-
Label the Ground and Neutral wires.
-
Disconnect all wires from the two dumb switches and connect them to the Smart 3-Way Dimmer as below.
What happens if Traveler 1 of main dimmer is connected to Traveler 2 of
satellite dimmer?
Smart Dimmers won’t work. Wi-Fi LED will blink red rapidly. Swapping Traveler
1/2 wiring positions of the satellite dimmer will solve the problem.
The wire colors used in this guide are recommended by National Electric Codes (NEC). They may differ from your actual wire colors.

Safety Notice
Before installing, servicing or removing the switch, read and follow all safety precautions including the following:
- CAUTION Risk of Electric Shock More than one disconnect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing. A circuit breaker which disconnects the Line and Neutral conductor simultaneously is suitable. Ensure power is off at the circuit breaker before removing or installing any switch. Use a non-contact voltage tester to ensure the power is off.
- The Smart Switch must be installed and used in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC) or your local electrical code. If you are unfamiliar with these codes and requirements, or are uncomfortable performing the installation, consult a qualified electrician.
- Do not install the Smart Switch with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surfaces.
- Install only in a suitable UL Listed outlet box (suitable dimensions: H > 2.95 in./75 mm, W > 1.81 in./46 mm, D > 2 in./51 mm).
- Tighten terminal screws to 13 lbf-in.
