Switch
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does it need a neutral line? How could I know whether there is a neutral line?
Yes, it needs a neutral line. The best way is to check the actual wires in the switch box, the neutral line is often going to be colored white, but it also may be other colors. If there are multi-gang switches, that has a much higher likelihood of having neutrals.
If there is a wall outlet near the switch, most likely that switch box has a neutral. If your house was built in the mid-1980s or later, there is an excellent chance that you have neutral lines in the box.

Suggestion: It's better to make marks with label stickers for wires before removal and replacement.
- What is the difference between the single-pole switch, dimmer switch, and the 3-way switch?
The single-pole switch is designed to turn on/off the light at only 1 place, but could not control the fan speed or light brightness.
The dimmer switch is designed to turn on/off the light at only 1 place, besides, it also could control the fan speed or light brightness.
The 3-way switch is designed to turn on/off the light at 2 places, but could not control the speed and brightness. The 3-way switch also could be used as the single-pole switch.
- I have a dual wifi router, How could I use it?
Our smart devices require a 2.4g wifi channel during the initial connection to the app. After a successful connection, you may enable the 5G and the smart devices should work fine.
Please double check these steps to make sure you are on the 2.4g as a requirement during the initial connection of the device to the app.
Enter the "Wireless Settings (Wireless)" page of the router (the access method is usually on the label at the back of the router).
Find the 2.4Ghz settings page, change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) to "xxx-2.4G", and save the settings.
Find the 5Ghz settings page, change the Wi-Fi name (SSID) to "xxx-5G", and save the settings.
After the name change is completed, you can find the two Wi-Fi names "xxx-2.4G" and "xxx-5G" on the Wi-Fi search page of the mobile phone, then please choose the 2.4G.
Afterwhich, please click forget the network from the Wifi settings of your phone and reconnect with only 2.4G then, kindly connect the smart devices to the app.
If your router is dual-band, or both 2.4Ghz and 5GHz, here is the link for you to change to 2.4Ghz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dV3PR24RzoI
Dimmer switch
- The lights are flickering when I dim them.
- Lights turns on and off by itself.
- The lights won’t dim.
- Automatic switch
Could you kindly try to change bulbs? Actually, there are some dimmable bulbs that we recommend to use for our smart dimmer switch. The type of dimmable bulbs that our dimmer can support are Incandescent lamps, Philips, SULVA NIA, relax LED, refreesh LED, the Great Value (DAYLGHT LED Ceiling Fan Bulb, Glass LED General purpose). If LED bulbs, then normal dimmable bulbs. FEIT (OM75DM/930CA) is not compatible for our dimmer right now. Smart bulbs won't work with the smart dimmer switch.
Please try to remove the smart switch from the app and reset before connecting again.
To remove the device from the app: Open the app- Click the device name -click edit sign (upper right-hand side). Go to the bottom of the screen and click "Remove Device" or "Remove Device -clear data" *If you would like to delete all saved automation/schedule
To reset the device, simply press and hold on to the power button (for about 5-10 seconds). The smart device/switch will blink slowly for AP mode and fastly blinking for Easy mode. Please try both modes

If the issue persist, please provide the Virtual ID’s of the smart switch for technical checking. In most cases, a firmware update can fix the issue. Here is the guide for you to find your Virtual ID:
- Please open the Gosund app- click the device's name - and click "edit sign" on the top right of the screen; 2.Click "Device Information", then you'll find "Virtual ID". Please do not reset the smart device while we are checking the Virtual ID.
There is no indicator light when I press and hold the switch for 5 seconds. Is this a bad switch?
Could you tell us do you have Neutral and Load wires in your wall box and kindly make sure that the wiring's are properly connected? Could you confirm your wiring: white wire - Neutral wire; black wire - Live wire; Red wire - Load wire; Green wire - Ground wire?
Some tips :
1) Get a voltage tester . It is cheap and helps a lot in finding cables and for safety.
2) Neutral wire (white wire) maybe in the back of the box wrapped and unused. You need it for the switch.
3) Please do not just connect cables of same colors. A voltage tester helps a lot. In some case, red cable from the wall is live cable which you have to connect to black cable on the switch and black cable from wall (load cable) have to be connected to red cable on the switch.
4) Load wire usually comes from top of the box (that is the wire that goes to light) have no current unless switch is turned on. Output is 110V. Please refer to the attached file for reference and short videos.

- There was a power outage and when the power is up and running, my switches no longer work. Why are these not connecting automatically to the app after the power outage?
After the power is turned off, the device should automatically reconnect.
However, because the router itself will take a certain time to restart and restore the network, when the connection times out, it will also cause the reconnection to fail. If there are too many devices connected on the router, some devices will fail to reconnect. In such case, you just need to reconnect the smart devices to app.
To reconnect again the smart switch again to the app, please press and hold the power button for 5-10 seconds until the indicator light will rapidly blink for Easy mode, and slowly blinks for AP mode. If your router us dual-band, please ensure to disable your 5g before connecting the switch to the app.

- I bought your smart switches some years ago and they have green LED light when turned off, now I bought 2 more and they do not have the green LED indicator when the lights are off. Are these defective? If not, can you put the green LED to my new switches? I love it so I can see the switch when the lights are off.
The switch without green light is normal. It is an upgraded version. As some customers complained that the indicator was too bright if they install switches in their bedroom, so we changed the indicator to be like this: The indicator will be off when you turn off the switch.
We are sorry, there’s no way to put a green light to the new version. We hope for your kind understanding. Thank you.
- The switch emits a hissing sound or noise, it is very annoying. Can you fix this?

Yes, you can connect it to a single pole. Please follow these steps.
1 Put the 3 screws provided in the 3 small holes in the top.

3 Connect the ground wire to the green wire on the Gosund 3-way switch.
4 Connect the white wire from the Gosund 3-way switch to the outlet’s exposed Neutral wires. Securely screw them together inside the wire nut.
5 Power on the circuit breaker, and check if the light on the front of the switch is blinking.
Important Note: LED bulbs and ceiling fan can not work with Gosund 3-way smart switch when it is connected as single-pole switch.
- How do I install the 3-way switches? There are only 2 wires from your switches.
The 2 wires from our smart switch are Neutral and Ground. On your wall wirings, you must have ground, neutral, traveler 1, traveler 2 and live/hot load wire. Please see attached short video for reference.

- Do you have multi- gang wall plate?
Thanks for your email.
Sorry, we do not have multi -gang wall plates.
We can suggest to buy a screw-less wall plates. Some of our customers did like this and it worked.
We hope for your kind understanding.
- My switch blinks red and green. What does it mean?
The reason for that is you have not connected it to the wifi. After your wiring, the green light indicator flashes. If you press it like a normal switch, then it won't show green light indicator again.
So our suggestion is: Under Wifi condition, you reset it by pressing the button for 5 seconds until the indicator rapidly flashes green which is the Easy mode. In AP mode, the indicator will blink slowly. Simply press hold the power button again so the indicator light will change from fastly blinking to slowly blinking or vice versa. We hope these videos will help.

Kindly check the picture in the attachment. You can cut it in the white blank space.
It is best to cut three lamp beads as a group. But after cutting, only the end connected to the power adapter can be used, the other part cannot (unless solder, angle connectors can be used after soldering). Thank you.
- The Led light strip’s adhesive is poor. How to fix this?
