Yes, you can install the TP-Link HS200 Smart WiFi Light Switch even if your powerline socket has only three wires: Live/Load, Neutral, and Ground. Here's how:

  1. Verify Neutral Line Availability: First, confirm that a neutral line is present in your wall box. If there isn't one, do not proceed; consult a qualified electrician.
  2. Cut Off Power: Switch off the circuit breaker that controls the light switch. Double-check that the power is off using a voltage tester.
  3. Remove the Old Switch: Detach the faceplate and old light switch to expose the wiring.
  4. Identify Wires: Locate the Live/Load, Neutral, and Ground wires in your powerline socket.
  5. Wire the Smart Switch: Connect the TP-Link HS200 as follows:
    • Connect each of the two black wires from the switch to the available Live wires using wire connectors.
    • Attach the green wire on the switch (Ground) to the Ground wire.
    • Connect the white wire on the switch (Neutral) to the Neutral wire.
  6. Secure the Switch: Mount the Smart Switch to the wall box using the provided screws. Attach the wall plate.
  7. Restore Power: Turn the circuit breaker back on to activate the Smart Switch.

Note that the TP-Link HS200 Smart WiFi Light Switch is designed for single-pole switch installations and needs a neutral line. If you're unsure or have issues, it's best to consult a professional electrician for safe and correct installation.
