What are the most common mistakes made by electrical contractors when they install Lightcloud?

• Not keeping track of devices and locations (they should use the Device Table).

• Placing Gateway in location with a poor cell signal and having to move it. See Where should the Gateway be located in the building? for proper location guidance.

• Miswiring a Controller or Sensor, such as tieing neutrals together instead of installing one neutral per circuit for load monitoring by Lightcloud. See Can the power to a Controller use a shared neutral? and What if you don’t have a dedicated neutral to the load? What do I do to monitor load?

• Not following wiring instructions. Ensure that the correct color wires are connected together. See What are the 6 wires coming out of the Controller and the Sensor?

• Illegible Device Table due to poor handwriting, such as 9s looking like 7s and 1s looking like 7s. Use the Device ID Stickers provided by RAB wherever possible.
