How Hard Is It to Install a Smart Light Switch? Easier Than You Think.

For many people, the biggest hesitation when switching to smart lighting isn’t cost or compatibility—it's the installation. If you’ve ever thought “I’m not an electrician, I probably can’t install this,” you’re not alone.

Most Smart Switches = Wiring Headaches

Traditional smart switches often require:

  • ⚠️ A neutral wire (not in most older homes)
  • ⚠️ Connection to a smart hub or WiFi
  • ⚠️ App setup and cloud syncing
  • ⚠️ Possibly a hired electrician to get it all working

AuriLink Installs in 3 Minutes — No Tools, No Wires

AuriLink was designed for real people, not just tech pros. Here's how easy it is:

  1. Stick the voice module to a nearby surface (wall, table, bedside).
  2. Install the in-wall receiver like a regular switch — no neutral wire needed.
  3. Optional: Stick the wireless remote switch on any surface — no batteries to replace.

Done. You’re ready to say:

  • "Turn off all the lights"
  • "Turn on the Bedroom light"
