How Do I Troubleshoot an Offline or Unresponsive In-Wall Switch or Dimmer?

If an in-wall switch or dimmer shows as Offline or is unresponsive to commands, there are some basic troubleshooting steps you can perform.

Troubleshooting an Offline or Unresponsive Switch/Dimmer:

To troubleshoot an offline or unresponsive switch/dimmer, follow these steps:

  1. Check the hub to ensure it is online (the LED should be green)

  2. Check that the switch/dimmer is receiving power

    • It is recommended to have a licensed electrician for any wiring needs

    • Pull out the switch/dimmer from the wall

    • Ensure all wiring is correct and securely connected to the switch/dimmer

    • Use a digital multimeter to ensure there is power on the wires

  3. Power cycle the switch/dimmer

    • Locate the air gap switch on the switch/dimmer (refer to your switch/dimmer’s owner’s manual, but this is typically a small tab at the bottom of the switch/dimmer that can be pulled out to disconnect power from the switch/dimmer)

    • Wait ten seconds

    • Reseat the air gap switch

  4. Reboot the hub

  5. Contact our support team

    • If the switch/dimmer is still offline or unresponsive, please reach out to our support team anytime using the details listed below
