Smart Home TP-Link Dimmer Switch install

Install the TP-Link Dimmer Switch

Red is the Line cable.
Black is the load cable
Green is the overflow cable.
White is the ground cable.

Green and white cable are important

White is is the ground. You can see how I connected it in the top image. This is important so you don't start a fire in your house.

Green is the copper one. You can see that in the second image. Make sure you connect the green cable to the copper wires as its for excess energy to go back into your system.

Part of the instructions from TP-Link

Neutral is the green wire that connects to the copper wires in your wall.
