Smart Home Controls and Automation in Greater Baton Rouge

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reversed line/load, missing neutral, incorrect 3‑way traveler wiring, incomplete app pairing (often 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi), outdated firmware, incompatible bulbs, or hub/scene misconfiguration. We diagnose and fix smart lighting, network/connectivity, and Control4 integrations.
