WARNING! Risk of electric shock. Incorrect installation could be dangerous or illegal.

Always ensure that power is completely shut off at the circuit breaker before beginning any installation or maintenance. Multiple breakers and/or fuses may need to be shut off for safe installation. If you are unfamiliar or uncomfortable with electrical work, it is highly recommended to call a professional electrician.

This device requires a neutral wire for operation. If your electrical box does not contain a neutral wire, this product will not function correctly. Consult a qualified electrician to verify your wiring configuration.

5.4. Advanced 3-Way/4-Way Configuration Note

While the WeMo Light Switch cannot directly replace a 4-way switch, it can be integrated into a 4-way circuit. In a typical 4-way setup (three switches controlling one light), there are two 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. You can replace one of the 3-way switches in this configuration with a WeMo Smart Light Switch to make the entire circuit smart. This requires identifying the correct 3-way switch that has a neutral wire in its box. You may need to open multiple switch boxes to find the appropriate 3-way switch with a neutral wire.
