Why Does My Smart Light Switch Not Work After Installation?
Most smart light switches stop working after installation due to wiring or setup issues. Common causes include no neutral in the box, line and load swapped, a miswired 3-way, or incompatible dimmer-to-LED pairing. A tripped breaker or GFCI can also cut power. If wiring checks out, complete pairing and app setup. Absolute Electric fixes these issues for homes in Alexandria and Sterling.
- Reset the breaker or GFCI.
- Recheck neutral, line/load, and 3-way connections.
