• Ecobee Switch+ has in-built motion sensors that let you control light using your smartphone. Switch+ has been designed with a rounded section instead of the toggle switch. The bottom part of the Ecobee switch is solid white, while the top part has a small and prick part for the switch's speaker. You can turn on and off your room lights by pressing the bottom part of the device. A blue LED strip lights up on the top of the switch when you ask Alexa. Now, we are going to discuss Ecobee Switch+ installation. This device is used to control lights only but not any motor loads like ceiling fans.
• Ecobee Switch+ doesn't work with three locations/ lights controlled from 2 switches. The lights need to be controlled by one switch.
• The controlled lights should have a maximum rating of 600W for incandescent bulbs and 150W for fluorescent or LED bulbs.
• Electrical voltage must be below 120V AC. You have to turn the circuit breaker off for the switch which you want to replace.
• If circuit breakers are not labeled, you need to turn off the master power.

Make sure your lights do not turn on while installing a new device. By flipping the wall switch on and off many times, confirm that you have turned off the right breaker.

Unscrew the existed wall plate as well as switch from the wall.

Now, you have to disconnect the wires which are attached to the switch. To remove wires, simply turn the wire nuts counterclockwise. After that, remove the existing Ecobee Switch+.

If paint around the device has dried, it will require more force to unmount it.

You can see four types of wires in your wall box. Know how to identify them.

• Line and load wires (Black or red): These are connected to your existing switch.
• Ground wire (Copper or green): It typically comes from the wall box.
• Neutral wires (White): These come in a pair and are fastened together by a wire nut.

Connect Ecobee Switch+

You need to match the neutral wire from your Ecobee smart light switch to the two neutral wires from your wall box. Together, insert them into the wire nut to connect. Connect the remaining wires as shown below and tighten them with wire nuts.

• Switch wire to line wire.
• Switch wire to load wire.
• Neutral wire to neutral pair.
• Ground wire to ground wire or screw.

Wire nuts are used to connect two or more wires together.

Hold the wires you are connecting parallel to one another so that the ends of the wires are aligned.

Holding the device wires parallel and insert them into a wire nut. Twist the wire nut clockwise until it secures.

If the wires separate or shift inside the nut, you will need to realign them and replace the cap. After that, twist the cap clockwise until the wires are secured.

You can use the pliers to gently twist wires together before inserting them into the wire nut. Moreover, you can straighten curved wires with pliers.

Give a minute for your Ecobee light switch to power on. You can test the Switch+ by turning it on and off using the on/ off button on the front of your device. There will be a snap on the wall plate if the switch powers on.

If the Ecobee Switch+ is not turned on, then turn off the breaker and check if the wires are connected securely. Now, test the device for turning on.

Go through the Ecobee app to register your Switch+, connect to wifi, and unlock other smart features. Also, link the Amazon Alexa to control the home light with your voice.

That’s all about Ecobee Switch+ installation instructions. We hope, you easily did your job with the help of our instructions.
