Why Does My Smart Light Switch Not Work After Installation?

Smart switches often fail after install due to wiring, compatibility, or connectivity issues. Typical culprits are a missing neutral, line/load reversed, 3‑way miswiring, a tripped breaker or GFCI/AFCI, incompatible bulbs, or unfinished Wi‑Fi/app setup. We integrate smart lighting and provide electrical safety inspections and panel upgrades for Warrenton homes.

  • Restore power; reset breaker/GFCI/AFCI.
  • Verify neutral and follow the switch wiring diagram.
  • For 3‑way circuits, identify the common and travelers.
  • Pair in the app and confirm the required Wi‑Fi band.
