Tools and Materials Needed
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flathead screwdriver
- Voltage tester
- Wire stripper
- Inovelli Blue Series 2026 switch
- Wire connectors (wire nuts)
- Electrical tape
- Optional: voltage meter
Preparation and Safety
Before starting, turn off the power to the circuit at your main electrical panel. Use a voltage tester to confirm that no power is running to the switch wires. Always wear safety gear and proceed with caution when working with electrical components.
Removing the Old Switch
Remove the faceplate of the existing switch using a screwdriver. Unscrew the switch from the electrical box and gently pull it out. Carefully disconnect the wires, noting which wires are connected to which terminals.
Wiring the Inovelli Switch
Identify the wires: typically, you will have a hot wire (black), load wire (black), neutral wire (white), and ground wire (green or bare). Connect the wires to the new switch as follows:
- Connect the black (hot) wire to the terminal labeled “Line”.
- Connect the load wire to the terminal labeled “Load”.
- If present, connect the neutral wire to the neutral terminal or wire nut.
- Connect the ground wire to the green screw or grounding terminal.
Secure all connections with wire nuts and wrap with electrical tape if necessary. Ensure no loose wires are exposed.
Installing the Switch into the Electrical Box
Carefully tuck the wires into the electrical box. Mount the switch to the box using the provided screws. Make sure the switch is flush and secure.
Restoring Power and Testing
Turn the power back on at the main panel. Test the switch by toggling it on and off. Confirm that the connected lights respond correctly. If the switch has smart features, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to connect it to your Wi-Fi network and configure via the Inovelli app.
Final Tips
Always double-check your wiring before restoring power. If unsure about any step, consult a licensed electrician. Proper installation ensures safety and optimal performance of your Inovelli Blue Series 2026 switches.
