3. Aratohu Whakauru
3.1. Rarangi Arowhai i mua i te whakaurunga
- Ensure your home has a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. 5GHz networks are not supported.
- Confirm the existing wiring in your wall box (neutral wire present or not).
- Tools required: Screwdriver, wire strippers, voltage Kaiwhakamatautau.
3.2. Tohutohu Waea
The MOES Smart Light Switch supports both neutral wire and no-neutral wire configurations. Please identify your wiring type before proceeding.
3.2.1. No-Neutral Wire Installation
If your wall box does not have a neutral wire, a capacitor (included in the package) is required for proper operation. This capacitor must be connected across the light bulb terminals.
- Whakawetohia te hiko: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you are replacing. Verify power is off with a voltage Kaiwhakamatautau.
- Tautuhia nga waea: In your wall box, identify the Line (Live) wire, Load wire(s), and Ground wire.
- Connect wires to the switch:
- Connect the Line wire to the 'L' terminal on the smart switch.
- Connect the Load wire(s) to the 'L1' (OUT) terminal. For 1-gang switches, typically only L1 is used.
- Connect the Ground wire to the 'GND' terminal.
- Install Capacitor: Connect the provided capacitor across the light bulb terminals (between the live and neutral wires at the light fixture). This is crucial for no-neutral setups to ensure stable power to the smart switch.
- Maunga te pana: Secure the smart switch into the wall box and attach the faceplate.
- Whakaora mana: Whakahokia ano te hiko i te ara iahiko.

3.2.2. With-Neutral Wire Installation
If your wall box has a neutral wire, the installation is straightforward.
- Whakawetohia te hiko: Locate your circuit breaker and turn off the power to the switch you are replacing. Verify power is off with a voltage Kaiwhakamatautau.
- Tautuhia nga waea: In your wall box, identify the Line (Live) wire, Neutral wire, Load wire(s), and Ground wire.
- Connect wires to the switch:
- Connect the Line wire to the 'L' terminal on the smart switch.
- Connect the Neutral wire to the 'N' terminal.
- Connect the Load wire(s) to the 'L1' (OUT) terminal. For 1-gang switches, typically only L1 is used.
- Connect the Ground wire to the 'GND' terminal.
- Maunga te pana: Secure the smart switch into the wall box and attach the faceplate.
- Whakaora mana: Whakahokia ano te hiko i te ara iahiko.
