Setup Video
Setup Step 1 - Turn Off Power
1) Turn off power at the circuit breaker that controls the light switch.
Ensure power is off by switching your existing light switch on and off multiple times.
Setup Step 2 - Remove Existing Light Switch
2) Remove your existing wall plate and light switch.
Only proceed with the installation if there is a neutral wire (usually white) in the switch box.
If you only have three wires, then you most likely do not have a neutral wire, no matter what the wire colors are. You will need to have four wires, one of which is neutral.
Setup Step 3 - Connect Eve Light Switch
3) Connect Eve Light Switch using wire nuts:
• Red Wire From Eve Light Switch - connect to Load wire, usually black, may exit to the top of your wall
If you are not sure which of the wires is live and which is load, simply try one configuration. Swapping live and load will not cause any damage to Eve Light Switch.
• White Wire From Eve Light Switch - connect to Neutral wire, usually white, required, but not always present
• Green Wire From Eve Light Switch - connect to Ground wire, usually green or bare, optional.
If no Neutral wire is present, Eve Light Switch is not compatible at this location.
If you only have three wires, then you most likely do not have a neutral wire, no matter what the wire colors are. You will need to have four wires, one of which is neutral.
Setup Step 4 - Mount Eve Light Switch
4) Mount Eve Light Switch into the wall.
Setup Step 5 - Attach Plates
5) Screw in the snap plate, and push the face plate onto it. Alternatively, use your existing wall plate.
Setup Step 6 - Turn On Power
6) Turn on power at the circuit breaker that controls the light switch.
Tap Eve Light Switch - your lights should now turn on.

Try swapping your live and load wires.
Setup Step 8 - Add Eve Light Switch
8) Open the Eve app and tap Add Accessory. Eve will now guide you through the setup process.
If you have already set up another accessory, go to the Eve settings to add Eve Light Switch to your home.
