How to Install a Smart WiFi Light Switch (for Amazon Alexa or Google Home)

Please bleep out “Alexa” when making a video like this.

I do not recommend using a widow maker.

Helpful, thanks!

Check out WiZ Portable Smart Button and Smart bulbs 💡 no hub or electrician required for setup

You are dangerous

Any ideas about the lifespan of this switch

My Alexa cannot find your light 😆

thanks for helping out really appreciate!!!

Do I have to turn off the entire house power?

When you are pointing to something, it would be helpful to see the object.

Terrible... how do you know what wire is what when they were all painted white?? Zero explanation.

Excellent video, but you activated my Alexa at least 3 times 😃
Her name muted out in future videos would be helpful

Mine doesn’t have the white wire neutral ?? Can u make a video on that? My switch just has the two live wire and ground

If for whatever reason the internet stops working, can you still manually use the lights?

My switch didn’t go on after installing.

Is load the hot wire with electricity?

Don't say "ALEXA" when people can hear you. The Echo can hear you too. The pump is on. FFS

The thing in my house that I am remodeling is, the light switch boxes only have one ground, one hot, one neutral. I already planned on rewiring the place, but, they did the lights strange in this house.

I installed wifi bulbs that says 2.4Ghz only, but it still works fine on 5Ghz

Do you have to have 1 switch per.room.or can this one switch control all rooms

Wifi ceiling fan smart switch consists of a black, red (light), yellow (fan), ground and neutral. Wall consists same minus yellow for fan. I tried to piggy back red to every color (not ground) but not successful. Please any recommendations. Im on my 2nd day and 100 googles & video's🙄

Just connect my switch... Works just fine... But the outlets on the room start working funny... Some don't have power... And others while the light it's on... They have power.. But when I ask alexa to turn off the light.... I lose power on the power outlets..... Need help pls anyone

What if I have a double switch for a fan?

You didn't explain what was those two black cables for or where are they coming from. Thanks

Hi I tried to installed but I couldn't, I have one black wire,then I have a white wire and ground, the neutral wire does not exist,what can I do?

Has anyone had the problem of not being about to connect all the white wires(common)together? How do I fix this issue? My screw cap won't fit them all.

I had to do the positive black wire to the black wire to the light switch and pair the negative black wire to the red wire from the light switch with govee

Kimi Raikonnen is that you?

I have two pool lights with a regular 2 pole manual switch.
😫 of going outside to turn on and off. You think this might work? My wifi is right on the otherwise of the wall.
All I need is on and off from the phone or schedule.

so does your phone need to be connected to the same wifi network in order to control or can you use the app anywhere in the world on an internet connection and control the lights? if you cant turn on the lights when you are away from the house then this light switch is useless

I have 2 ground wires in the same box but tied off with a wire cap. They were not connected. The smart dimmer I have is by Enbrighten and has two holes. Can I put in both wires in both holes or do I need to piggy tail it together?

Best video I've seen on this subject. The diagrams were clear and easy to understand.

I bought a light switch kit that's a 3 way. Can I install these in 2 diffetend rooms for example a bedroom and a kitchen?

Such a pain in the butt, wish it had the screws on the side. The wires pull out of those caps when trying to shove it back in the box. Also doesn’t tell you what to do when there’s a single black wire

Can I be on another WiFi network or connection to switch on or off if its paired

I purchased a Honeywell Home RPLS740B1008 and it comes with Load, Line and Neutral. The current switch is connected to the Load, Line and Ground. I know i have to connect the Load to the Load, Line to Line and Neutral to Neutral, but what do i do with the Ground wire that was previously connected to the old switch?

Warning: If you have an older house the wall box may be too small to fit a 3 times larger switch and the extra connector caps. Then you have to put the old switch back or tear up your wall for a new box.

We don't use Earth for lights in Australia, only Neutral and Live/Power

This was a very helpful video Sir Thank You

Lol didn't know Kimi Raikkonen loved diy ;)

Excellent Video

How does it work if you are out of the country ? Does it also work outside the country you are living?

So I have a weird problem... i have both a green AND a copper wire in my light switch box. The problem is that they both run through the bottom and top of the box and I have no way to disconnect them. They were not attached to the original light switch. Do I NEED to attach these to the new switch?

for a second I thought you were Kimi Räikkönen

Ich bin hier weil ich Aufgaben bekommen habe während des Home office.... ☹️🥺

Can you still turn light on/off from switch.?

Does any smart switch that works with Alexa, work with non smart lights?

Ok no more smart lights to much work
