4. సంస్థాపన

4.1 ప్రీ-ఇన్‌స్టాలేషన్ పరిగణనలు

This smart switch is designed for homes without a neutral wire, typically built before the 1980s. If your wall box contains a neutral wire, a neutral wire switch is generally recommended for broader compatibility with lighting loads.

Image: A table comparing 'Neutral Wire Switch' and 'No Neutral Wire Switch' based on wires required, ideal age of home, installation location, compatibility with Cync App, Out of Home Control, and Voice Control. It highlights that the 'No Neutral Wire Switch' requires Ground, Line, and Load wires and is ideal for homes built before the 1980s.

A bulb adaptor is included and may be required depending on your lighting setup. It is particularly important for low wattage lights (below 15W) and certain LED types to prevent flickering. Only one bulb adaptor is needed per switch, even with multiple bulbs on the circuit. Twist the bulb adaptor onto the base of one bulb and then screw into the fixture.
