Hi,

I am new to this forum.

I just got TAPO  S500 wired to turn the outdoor light on LED bulbs .  But when turning on the light ( either  mechaincally or by TAPO app ) the lights just blink (and turn off),  

Do you have any ideas what went wrong or else?

Looking forward to your suggestions.

 

Thanks.

Can you share an image of how you have the switch wired?

Hi ,

Her's an image for the wiring..

The middle single pole swtich was replaced by the TAPO S500 . The original toggle switch had only 2 lines( line and load?)lke shown on the left toggle switch.

Here, the right yellow nut wth green line is the ground and the left yellow one with white lines is the neutral. The right orange nut is the load line(verified) and the other orange is a line ( to the light bulbs).

Hope it helps.

 

Thanks.

Thanks.55996016761e4542ac4da8c1aa37dc25

Interesting usually you have all neutral wires grouped together.  At least in my limited experience.  Glad it was a somewhat simple fix.  But it does give me something to watch out for in the future.  Thanks for letting us know what you found.
