Wire Your 3-Way Dimmer

1. Turn off the circuit breaker. Then remove the two wallplates. Your dumb switches might look like this.
2. Get to know the wires.
   Line (Live/Hot): Usually black. One end is connected to the circuit breaker, the other to your FIRST 3-Way switch.
   Load: Usually black. One end is connected to the light fixture, the other to your SECOND 3-Way switch.
   Travelers: Usually one is black and the other is red.
   Neutral: Usually a bundle of white wires, not connected to the dumb switch. They may be folded up in the very back.
   Ground: Usually green or copper.
   The wire colors used in this guide are recommended by National Electric Codes (NEC). They may differ from your actual wire colors.
   Note:
   1. The main and satellite dimmers cannot work separately or with traditional 3-way switches.
   2. You can find detailed wiring instructions in the Kasa Smart app.
3. Label the Traveler wires in the two wall boxes.
4. Only disconnect the Line/Load wires from the two dumb switches, then cover them with provided wire nuts for safety.
5. Identify Line and Load wires in the two wall boxes.
   1) Turn on the circuit breaker. Use a voltage detector to identify the energized wire (Line wire).
   Take care to avoid electric shocks.3) Label the other wire in the other wall box as Load wire. This is the wall box for the satellite dimmer.
   2) Turn off the circuit breaker and label the Line wire. This is the wall box for the main dimmer.
6. Label the Neutral wire in the wall box for the main dimmer, and the Ground wires in both wall boxes.
   CAUTION:
   
7. Disconnect all wires from the two dumb switches, and then connect them to the Smart 3-Way Dimmer as below.
   No need to distinguish between the two traveler wires.
   Check the main dimmer LED to see if the wires are connected correctly.
   Blinking red quickly: The wires are wrongly connected. Please check the wiring. It’s recommended to consult an electrician.
