Step 1. Turn off power
Remove power to your outlet by turning off the appropriate circuit breaker at the electrical service panel.
Confirm power is turned off with a voltage detector or by simply plugging in a lamp or appliance.
Step 2. Remove old outlet
Unscrew and pull the old outlet away from the wall. You should see black (line), white (neutral), and bare copper (ground) wires. If you have two black wires, note the one that is connected to the silver screw terminal. That will be the neutral wire.
Disconnect the wires and make sure to straighten the ends and have about 1/2” length of exposed wire.
Step 3. Turn on power
Turn on power at the circuit breaker and use a voltage detector to identify which exposed wire has voltage. This will be considered the line wire. The other wire will be your neutral wire.
Step 4. Turn off power & connect wires
Turn off power at the circuit breaker. Connect the Insteon Outlet wires to the identified wires in the junction box.
Verify that the wire nuts are secure and that no exposed copper wire is visible except for the bare ground wire.
Step 5. Install & turn on power
Install the Insteon Outlet into the junction box. Turn on power at the circuit breaker.
Step 6. Test
Plug in a lamp or small appliance and tap the set buttons to turn on/off.
