Frequently Asked Questions - WSLCEV-P1 CHAMBERLAIN

What bulb types can I use with the WSLCEV-P1 smart light switch?

The switch supports compact fluorescent (CFL), incandescent, and LED bulbs. The maximum load is 300 watts for incandescent and 2.5 amps for CFL.

Can I control the smart light switch from my smartphone?

Yes, via the Chamberlain MyQ App. However, you need a MyQ Garage, Smart Garage Hub, MyQ Internet Gateway, or a Wi-Fi garage door opener to enable smartphone control.

How do I program the switch to a remote control?

Press and hold the remote control button you wish to use. Then press and release the LEARN button on the switch. The LED and light will flash once to confirm programming.

What should I do if the LED flashes for more than 10 minutes?

This indicates a low voltage or improper grounding issue. Ensure the switch is properly grounded. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.

Can I use this switch with 3-way or 4-way lighting circuits?

No, the WSLCEV-P1 is not recommended for 3-way or 4-way switch combinations. It is designed for single-pole installations only.

How do I erase all programmed codes from the switch?

Press and hold the LEARN button until the LED flashes (about 6 seconds). All codes are erased. Note that this erases all devices, not just one.

What is the maximum number of remote controls I can program?

You can program up to 8 Security+ 2.0 remote controls or a combination of up to 8 MyQ-enabled garage door openers.

Does the switch require a neutral wire?

A neutral wire is not required. If a neutral wire is present, it can be capped and left unused. The switch requires a ground wire to function.

Why is my light not responding from the remote control?

Ensure you are pressing the correct button and the remote's LED glows (change battery if not). Re-program the remote to the switch. Also verify the switch has power and is properly grounded.

Can I synchronize the switch with my garage door opener lights?

Yes, if your garage door opener is MyQ-enabled. The switch will turn on/off in sync with the opener's lights. Note that the sync is disabled if the switch is manually turned on.
