My wall junction box does not have a ground wire and my kasa app on android phone finds it, but after answering ys to green and orange light blinking np connectin is made.  Trying to push reset on lower right button does not help.  What do I do?  I have installed 3 other kasa devices (cameram and two plug switches) and alol worked perfectly.  Thanks.

  @Gearhead_1st,

I would check to make sure that your junction box has a ground, as that is a very standard thing to have in your boxes. The neutral wire is often the wire that is missing from older developments.

 

Without a Ground or a Neutral, the device is extremely prone to not being powered correctly or being overloaded and failing - let alone being a potential hazard. Most of the time, without the proper connections, you will not be able to complete the setup process. I would recommend contacting an electrician, as they may be able to quickly adapt your box for the device.
