Smart wall plates install#
You need to check what certification marks are required in your region and make sure that any parts you want to install bear those markings. Just checked your link and I've never heard of "Gosund" so it's probably rebranded off brand stuff, and anything electrical on Amazon requires a critical eye. When you screw everything back together, take care to align the two straps so that the cover plate sits straight and level with the switches traight, level and evenly spaced. Method of calculating box volume varies by region. The smart switch you want to put in may be oversized and not acceptable in the box, so you need to check. Also note/measure the dimensions of the box, where you live and what splices are present in the box. Your hardware store may also carry combo plates with 1 toggle slot and one decora slot. You have old style toggle cover plate, which can be replaced with decora for the smart switch by replacing the other switch with a generic decora switch. Assuming the required conductors are present, one or both switches can be switched out for a smart switch. Your smart switch probably needs line and neutral, which are usually present in a 2 gang switch box.
Carefully pull the switches out so you can see what's going on in the box and take a picture that clearly shows all wires to add to your question. Flip breakers until all controlled lights turn off, then remove the plastic cover plate and screws at the top and bottom of each switch under the coverplate. You'll need to open it up to see exactly what is going on in the box and confirm that a neutral is present if it's needed for the smart switch.
