USER MANUAL Wemo WiFi Smart Dimmer BELKIN

WARNING! Risk of electric shock

Incorrect installation could be dangerous or illegal. Multiple breakers/fuses may need to be turned off for safe installation. Please call a professional electrician if you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with electrical work.

Wemo Smart Dimmer can only replace single-pole switches

If your light can be turned on from two different wall switches, that's a 3-way switch and Wemo Smart Dimmer is not compatible.

Neutral wires are required for setup

These wires are typically white and can be found in your electrical box.

WARNING! Risk of electric shock

Incorrect installation could be dangerous or illegal. Multiple breakers/fuses may need to be turned off for safe installation. Please call a professional electrician if you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with electrical work.

Confirm that power is off

Remove the cover plate from the existing switch. Use a voltage tester to test BOTH sides of the switch. You may need to turn off more than one circuit breaker/fuse.

Cover plate

Find the NEUTRAL wires

Pull out existing switch

Unscrew the switch and gently pull it out of the wall. Do not remove any of the wires yet.

Find the NEUTRAL wires

Look for NEUTRAL wires (usually white) in the wall. You need these to set up the Dimmer.

NOTE:

You may have a different number of neutral wires than shown.

Test the NEUTRAL wires

Use a voltage tester to check that there is no power in the NEUTRAL wires from neighboring circuits. If necessary, shut off additional circuits until no voltage is found.

Disconnect the NEUTRAL wires

Unscrew the wire nut connecting the NEUTRAL wires.

3

Find the GROUND wires

Look for the GROUND wires (usually green or solid copper) and unscrew the wire nut connecting them.

NOTE: You may have a different number of ground wires than shown.

Find and label LINE and LOAD wires

Peel off and apply the LINE and LOAD wire labels below. If you're unsure which wire is which, we'll help you in the next step.

NOTE: Your existing wires may be in different locations than shown.

Never label wires while the power is on.

Help with distinguishing LINE from LOAD

1 Remove existing switch

Disconnect the remaining wires and remove the existing switch.

2 Cap LINE and LOAD wires for safety

3 Turn the power back ON

Make sure not to directly touch any wires while the power is on.

Test to identify the wires

Use a non-contact voltage tester to distinguish the wires:

This wire will have power because it carries electricity to the switch.

This wire will not have power because it carries electricity from the switch to your lights.

5 Turn the power back OFF

Verify the power is OFF before proceeding.

6 Label the LINE and LOAD wires

5

Connect Wemo Dimmer wires

Make sure power is OFF before proceeding

Remove cover plate

After disconnecting and removing the existing switch, snap the cover plate off of your Wemo Dimmer, and remove the sticker securing the wires.

Connect LINE and LOAD wires

Use a wire nut to connect the red LOAD wire on the Dimmer to the LOAD wire in the wall.

Use a wire nut to connect the black LINE wire on the Dimmer to the LINE wire in the wall.

NOTE:

Your existing wires may be different colors than those shown.

Connect NEUTRAL and GROUND wires

Use a wire nut to connect the white NEUTRAL wire on the Dimmer to the NEUTRAL wires (usually white) in the wall.

Use a wire nut to connect the green GROUND wire on the Dimmer to the GROUND wires (usually green or bare copper) in the wall.

NOTE:

Your existing wires may be different colors than those shown.

Install Dimmer into the wall

Almost done! Tug on each wire nut to make sure they are secure on the wires.

Carefully tuck wires behind the Dimmer

Insert the Dimmer into the box. It could get crowded in there.

Screw the Dimmer into the wall and snap on the cover plate

Be careful not to over-tighten the screws.

NOTE: Before snapping on the cover plate, you'll notice an 8-digit setup code on the Dimmer. You'll need this during app setup if you have an iPhone.

HomeKit Code

Turn on power

Turn on power to your Dimmer at your fuse panel or circuit breaker panel.

Physical installation is complete

The light ring on your Dimmer should start to blink WHITE while starting up and BLUE when ready for app setup.
