Welcome! This short installation guide will help you upgrade your home with Brilliant.
It is important that you first review all of the instructions to ensure you are comfortable with the required steps.
If you are unsure about or uncomfortable with the installation, go to brilliant. tech/install for more instructions, and/or help with finding a qualified electrician.
Thank you! The Brilliant Team
Please confirm the following:

Is your circuit 120V?
A 120V circuit is required and is standard in North American homes.
Is your wiring up to code, with Neutral and Ground wires?
Both Neutral and Ground wires are required, and present in most modern homes. Refer to Steps 5 and 6 for more details about wires.
Are you replacing a single or 3-way/multi-way switch?
If you are replacing a 3-way/multi-way switch, meaning that you can control the same light(s) from more than one switch, you should confirm that the Brilliant can support your configuration.
Refer to Step 1 for pictures of the supported configurations.
Do you have the right tools?
A size 2 screwdriver is needed to remove your old switch, and install Brilliant.
Is your gang box a standard size?
A gang box is an electrical box in the wall, behind the light switch. The box must have an interior width of no less than 45mm, and an interior height of no less than 70mm. Standard sizes will work.

Check Compatibility

Make sure Brilliant is compatible with the location where you’re installing it.

If the 120V switch you are going to replace activates a light that other switches also control (often referred to as 3-way or multi-way lighting), please find the picture of your setup on the next pages to confirm compatibility.
If your light is controlled by… 2 Switches

Will work: Two Brilliants

Will work: Brilliant and non- dimming switch (at either end)

Won’t work: Brilliant and dimming switch (at either end)

See Step 6b, or visithttp://support.brilliant.tech for more info on wiring multi-way circuits.

If your light is controlled by… 3 or More Switches

Will work: All Brilliants (connected through WiFi)

Will work: Brilliant at either end (or both ends) and a non-dimming switch
 Won’t work: Brilliant in the middle

Won’t work: Brilliant at the end, with a dimmer anywhere else

Turn Off Power

Turn the circuit breaker to OFF.

Before Proceeding
Confirm you’ve turned off the right breaker by flipping your light switch on and off. If you have turned off the correct breaker, your light won’t turn on.

Remove Light Switch

Unscrew your old switch cover and light switch from the wall. Pull the light switch out from the gang box, and take pictures of the wires, in case you need to reference them later. Then, disconnect the attached wires, and remove your old light switch.

Identify Your Circuit

Single Pole (Go to 5a)
One light switch that controls a light or set of lights.

3-Way/Multi-Way (Go to 6a)
Two or more light switches that control the same set of lights.

Single Pole

Identify Your Wires

Connect Wires

*Line and Load are interchangeable.
Brilliant will automatically sense which is which.

Wires and Wire Nuts
Wires and Wire Nuts are used to connect two or more wires together or extend the length. They are not usually needed, but you will often use them for Neutral wires.

• Select a wire extending from the box.
  Match the color of the wires you’re connecting.

• Holding the wires together and parallel, twist them together. Insert them into a wire nut, and twist the wire nut clockwise until secure. Double-check by tugging on the wires.

• Tuck the bundle into the back of the gang box.

Single Pole

 Screws and Wires

Step 1
Place wires in the hole as deep as possible.
Step 2
Turn the screw clockwise with a screwdriver.
Step 3
Tighten until wires are secure. Test by tugging.
Then go to Step 7

3-Way/Multiway

 Identify Your Wires

Connect Wires

*Traveler wires are interchangeable.
Brilliant will automatically sense which is which.

Wires and Wire Nuts
Wires and Wire Nuts are used to connect two or more wires together or extend the length. They are not usually needed, but you will often use them for Neutral wires.

• Select a wire extending from the box.
  Match the color of the wires you’re connecting.

• Holding the wires together and parallel, twist them together. insert them into a wire nut, and twist the wire nut clockwise until secure. Double-check by tugging on wires.

• Tuck the bundle into the back of the gang box.

Screws and Wires

Step 1
Place wires in the hole as deep as possible.
Step 2
Turn the screw clockwise with a screwdriver.
Step 3
Tighten until wires are secure. Test by tugging.

Install Base

Place wires in the gang box and attach the Base.

Before Proceeding
The strain reliefs are designed to bend to accommodate differences in gang box styles and mountings. Some bending of the strain reliefs is normal, but be careful not to overtighten. Once the strain reliefs start to bend, you can stop.

Test Light

Turn the circuit breaker back on to provide power to the Base. Press the white button in the center to turn the light on and off. If the light does not turn on/off, do not install
the Faceplate. Instead, turn the breaker off, remove the screws, and re-check your wire connections.

Secure Faceplate

Test the Base and secure the Faceplate.

Line up the brackets on the Base with the holes on the Faceplate. Press the Faceplate into the brackets and slide down until it clicks. The Faceplate will start up.

Configure Brilliant

Begin Configuration
Tap the “Begin Configuration” button to start the process, and follow the prompts.

Connect Wi-Fi

Next, it will ask you to connect to Wi-Fi, and it is important to do this so you can access your other smart home devices.

Configuration complete
Once the configuration is complete, you can “Add Devices” to connect Brilliant to your supported smart home devices.

Congratulations, you’re done with the installation.

Removing and replacing the display frame with a new color

Step 1
Before proceeding, remove the Faceplate from the Base. Put one hand above it, and grab both sides with the other hand. Then, slide it up and off.
Step 2
Next, with two hands and your fingers on the lower edge of the frame, gently pull slightly down on the rear edge of the frame until the clips come loose, and the bottom edge of the frame releases from the display.

Step 3
Pull forward. Once the lower edge comes loose, continue to rotate the bottom edge up until you can easily unclip the upper hooks from the top edge of the Faceplate.
To attach a new frame, clip the top clips onto the top edge of the Faceplate and then rotate it down until the frame is seated. To ensure the frame is properly clipped on, first squeeze the lower two corners and then squeeze the upper two corners. You can now reattach the Faceplate to the wall.

6+ replaceable color frame options, such as ivory, black, and silver, are available at http://www.brilliant.tech
