Elgato Eve Light Switch

Elgato Eve Light Switch is an accessory that replaces a regular light switch in your

home. Using Eve Light Switch and the Elgato Eve app, you can turn the light on or

off, even using Siri voice commands. With AppleTV, you can even do so from outside

your own home.

SafetyNote

Eve Light Switch is an easy replacement for a single light switch in an existing

installation. However, if you are in any doubt about the process, please consult a

qualified electrician.

Installing Eve Light Switch

1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.

2. Remove the existing wall plate.

3. Remove the screws holding the switch in place (do not remove the wires)

4. Ensure that the switch you are replacing is a single-location switch. It should

have one earth connection (usually green, or bare copper wire), and two wires

of the same color (usually black) going to the switch. If there are three wires

plus earth to the switch, this is probably a two-location switch and you cannot

use Eve Light Switch here

5. Ensure that the switch location has a neutral wire (usually white). If present, it

will usually go to a screw-on wire connector inside the switch box. If the switch

you are replacing is electronic, the neutral wire may be connected to the

existing switch. If there is no neutral wire, you cannot use Eve Light Switch

here.

6. Take a photograph of the existing wiring, you may find it useful to refer to later.
