Start by shutting off the power at the main breaker. 2. Remove the switch cover and remove the old switch. Both the cover and the wires can be loosened with a screwdriver. 3. Connect the hot, neutral, and ground wires on the smart switch with the wires in the wall using some wire nuts. 4. Push the switch back into the wall and secure the cover plate over it with the screwdriver. 5. Determine the location for the wireless switch. The switch comes with a wall mounting bracket that can be screwed into the wall. The wireless switch then snaps into the bracket. 6. Program the wireless switch to pair with wired smart switch following the manufacturer’s instructions. Resources: Heath installed the Caseta by Lutron Smart Kit [https://amzn.to/3fkDw8J].
