Why Does My Smart Light Switch Not Work After Installation?

Most smart light switches stop working after install because of wiring or setup issues. Common causes include a tripped breaker, reversed line/load, missing neutral, incorrect 3‑way traveler wiring, incomplete app pairing (often 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi), outdated firmware, incompatible bulbs, or hub/scene misconfiguration.
