It does not work when hooked up.There is no black wire w/ white stripe (indicated in directions), only green with white stripe. 2 plain blk, grn, blue

A friend of mine installed it - we attempted to follow the directions and it did not work (their color coding does not work) - but he switched the wires around and it worked - he isolated the ground wire and then figured out which wires operated the fan and which ones operated the light

You should just need to change the two wires, it sounds like wired backwards. On my set, the wire colors were different between the right and left housings, the ground wire is the same color on both housings.

Don't buy this! My wire never worked a piece of junk. If you find one similiar to this that works please let me know. But again this is a DO NOT BUY item!

When I plugged my wire in the light actually never lit up, But it does work normal. The light has never turned on but like I said before it is completely operational.

On mine, there were two solid colored wires (blue & brown?), and one (yellow) with a stripe. When I opened the back of the light, I found that the striped wire just ended and was not connected to anything. My guess is that they found 3-lead wire cheaper than 2 or 4-lead so that's what we get. The other two solid wires seem to work interchangeably as + or -, so they apparently added circuitry to make them idiot-proof.Short Answer:Striped wire: Not usedOther two: Connect to 12V DC

Yes, worked when I installed it. I do not remember the installation but I think I just spliced into the four wire. I now have both connectors. John

First, the unit won't operate unless you have an active ground connection. The instructions are poor in that they don't show the complete circuit to the light. Basically, run your power cable through the switch box to the light fixture; the black wires of the switch will be spliced into the black "hot" wire of the cable; the green wire of the switch will be connected to (but not interrupt) the ground wires of the cable. The white "neutral" wire will run only to the light - bad design in my opinion, because the switch uses ground instead of neutral to complete its control circuit, but apparently it meets electrical code or could not be marketed.

If the wires are brown, blue, and green with a yellow stripe then the combination is: Brown = Black Blue = White Green/Yellow = Ground Hope this helps.

Based on my experience, this thing is great but it only works through the Bluetooth and no wire. Unless they have changed the design, it never worked for me when connected with a wire.

sorry, it has been so long since we hooked it up i forgot. There were 2 hot wires going to the monitor, one did not go on automatically so i used the other. The unit works well, after several months.

ok i had the same problem after i installed the forth light to the back because i had only three lights installed (front and both sides)...the wires are thin so u have to be really careful when wrapping the cords.. plug them out then plug back in and see. right now only the blue works perfectly but i notice wen i shake the wires all the colors works.

Vincent, I have been trying to get someone to hook it up for me. I had the wires run when I built the house a few months ago. When i got the unit, one of the monitor screen was pushed back, I don't think the quality is very good. Or at least their QC. Sorry this doesn't answer your question. I may try to sell mine off because I don't feel that they will back it up with a warranty. I guess we get what we pay for.

I would like to just know how to hook it up!! I cannot figure out what goes where and there are no directions!! I know the outfit was cheap, but geez!!! If you like yours so much, then purchase one to go with it!! Could you help me get mine set up?? I just cannot figure out what wire goes where. and not all of them fit

Sorry but I can't answer that. We have not hooked ours up yet. It came with no wires or instructions.

Make sure that you have installed it correctly according to the instructions. It's a bit different than the conventional. The blue wire goes to the light's black. The switch's black wire goes to the black wire from the power source. Both white wires from the light and the power source (neutral) connect to this switch's white wire. It has to be done exactly like this or it won't work correctly. It notes that the switch "cannot be used if there is no neutral wire (white wires joint together) inside the electrical box."

You must wire it yourself. But before you hard wire it test it to make sure it works because they use different colored wires.

My light just had brown (brown/red) and blue. I used brown/red for positive (red) and blue for negative (closest to black of options provided). It works. I didn't have yellow w/green stripe. Green is usually a ground, but don't know why there would be one on a 12v DC device.
