Multiway Upgrade Rule

If a light is controlled by two or more wall switches, every switch in the circuit must be a Gen2 Smart Switch model DS2023.

• Mixing a Gen2 Smart Switch with standard rocker can impair or disable all switches on the circuit.

• Mixing a Gen2 with Gen 1 Smart Switch (DS2005) can impair or disable all switches on the circuit.

Magic Link One Circuit at a Time

To prevent cross-linking, complete Magic Linking one circuit at a time. Linking devices on multiple circuits simultaneously can cause switches from different circuits to pair incorrectly, leading to improper behavior.

If cross-linking occurs, perform a factory reset on the affected devices and relink them individually to the correct circuit.

Simple Installation – Magic Linking

1. Identify every switch that operates the light (leave them installed for now).

2. Remove all of the switches that operate the light

3. Install DS2023 Smart Switch in each switch position
4. Wait for the the beacon status light to turn off on all switches- this may take a few minutes
5. Test to make sure each switch properly controls the light

Advanced Installation – Magic Linking

(if simple installation is not successful, try advanced installation)

1. Identify every switch that operates the light (leave them installed for now).

2. Replace the first switch with a DS2023 Smart Switch.

   • The beacon LED near the bottom of the switch will flash green and may briefly show purple or white; the fixture may come on and go off.

   • Wait until the LED turns off and remains off for a few seconds

3. Replace the next switch.

   • Installing a new switch may restart Magic Linking on the others—LEDs will flash white on all the installed Smart Switches switches while they re-sync. This is normal.

   • Wait until the beacon LEDs on all Smart Switches are off.

4. Repeat Step 3 until every switch in the circuit has been upgraded.

5. Test each switch to confirm the light responds correctly.
