To install the GE CSWDMOCBWF1/ST1P CYNC Smart Dimmer Light Switch in a 3-way wiring setup, follow these step-by-step instructions:
1. Turn off the power: Before starting the installation, turn off the power for the switch location at the circuit breaker box. Test the existing switch by toggling it on/off to ensure that the lights do not turn on.
2. Remove the old switch: Remove the existing wall plate and switch from the wall. Use a voltage tester on the black wire to confirm that the power to the switch is off. Before disconnecting the wires from the wall, label each wire with the provided wire labels. Note that a neutral wire and a ground wire are required for this switch to be compatible.
3. Connect the wires - First switch: Connect the neutral (white) wire on the switch to the neutral (white label) wire from the wall. Connect the line (black) wire on the switch to the line (black label) wire from the wall. Connect the load (red) wire on the switch with the load (red label) wire from the wall. Connect the ground (green) wire on the switch with the ground (green label) wire from the wall. If there is a 5th wire in the wall box (traveler wire), cap the wire as it is not needed for the C by GE switch.
4. Connect the wires - Second switch: If you have more than two switches controlling your 3-way circuit, repeat the previous step for any additional switch on that circuit. Connect the neutral (white) wire on the switch to the neutral (white label) wire from the wall. Connect the line (black) wire on the switch to the line (black label) wire from the wall. Connect the ground (green) wire on the switch with the ground (green label) wire from the wall. Do not connect the load (red) wire on the switch with the load (red or black) wire from the wall. Cap both wires separately using two wire nuts. If there is a 5th wire in the wall box (traveler wire), cap the wire as it is not needed for the C by GE switch.
5. Fit wires into wall box: Neatly push the wires back into the box, rotating the switch so it is oriented according to the provided image.
6. Secure the switch: Using a Phillips screwdriver and the screws provided, secure the switch to the wall until it is level and flush. xxxx on the faceplate bracket, then snap the faceplate cover onto the bracket.
7. Turn the power back on: After the switch is secured and the faceplate is mounted, turn the power back on at the circuit breaker box. The light ring on the switch will flash blue, indicating that the device is wired correctly and in setup mode. The light ring will continuously flash blue until the switch is added to the C by GE app.
8. Enable 3-Way Control in the C by GE App: Download the C by GE app and add both switches to the app. Create a room in the app and add both switches to that room. This process virtually groups your switches together, allowing for 3-way control. Test that your 3-way switch operates correctly.
