Got one that has me scratching my head and hoping someone can help, I’ve searched the forums and can’t quite figure it out. I’ve got a set of lights I’d like to be able to dim. It has the following setup: 2 switches in the hallway upstairs, and one at the bottom of the stairs. If I’m not mistake…

There are a lot of possibilities, particularly if somebody wired things incorrectly. (Which happens more often than you’d think. ) [image] Diagnosing Power Problems at the Receptacle Three measurements taken at one outlet can provide you with a solid understanding of a building's branch-c…

Depend on how your 4 ways was wired. In your case. They used your white wire as one of the traveler. That is why you might not get a true neutral at the Aux boxes but we can fix this once you find out line and load. To save your self the headache. You need to find out your load and line hot first…

Thanks for all the help guys… So not sure if I updated but, the main zwave switch is in. It works, but of course if you flip the other two switches you lose zwave control. In my last picture: The white wire is tied to the other neutrals. One Black is wired to load. One Black is wired to line. …

Yeah I’ve found those. In the main switch, there are 3 blacks, which is what the original switch was hooked to that proved 110 volts.

Ok. Just hook up load, line and neutral to the master GE switch and you should be able to control the light physically or with ST. Ignore all the wires from the other two switches for now. Be sure to use isolate the bare wires just so you won’t get hurt. Does it work? Edit : don’t forget the gro…

Yuppers, can control it with the app and the switch. with the one main GE switch and the other two old single poles still attached. What is odd to me…is typically neutral wires are grouped together behind the switch in a group of white wires. The switches I took out, only one neutral group was pre…

Correct, it is the one black wire that is in the master switch, that is grouped with a couple of other hots. In the first picture, it’s the one with the wire nut in the bottom left. I omed every wire and ended up having to take out the bulbs in the fixtures because I was picking up resistance thro…

That’s normal to have all kind of color wire bundles behind switches in a 3 or 4 ways. As stated by @JDRoberts . US codes generally do not mandate wire colors. Anybody can use anything, and sometimes people just grab the last piece of wire from the box. It’s not clear of what you can control with t…
