Trying to install a smart wifi switch.

 

Existing is a normal switch.  Coming from the wall are 2 black wires (Line/Load), a copper ground wire and neutral. 

 

Wifi Switch has neutral (white), 2 black wires (Line Load) and green (ground)

 

I connected copper from wall to green from new switch. 

 

I connected the neutrals (white) from the wall to the white on the new switch. 

 

The instructions say, line and load from the wall can go to either 2 black wires on the new switch. 

 

Connected everything up as the above got it all on wifi and everything.  

 

An hour later, I noticed lights on the same circuit breaker, were very dim.  (different rooms, but same circuit)

 

I took the Wifi switch out and put old one back in and all was well. 

 

What would cause the other room lights on same circuit breaker to go dim?

  @PizzaNinja Wow, did you figure this out?  I have not seen that with my switches.

  @PizzaNinja Sounds like a neutral wire problem, could be your white isn't neutral or you had a loose connection.  I've also see the occasional wiring error where someone splits the white bundle to add in the kasa wire (the bundled wires must all be kept together).

I installed the switch, turned power on, but switch doesn't work.  Light on switch is blinking orang to green to orange to green.  What could be wrong?
