I would like to connect the dimmer direct to the light not the switch.
The light has the standard live & neutral
The brown wires were used in another room and went to the switch but my kitchen back box doesn’t have the room for it hence wanting to go from the light itself
Any help would be great
I’m not sure what you have in the destination box, but you should:
If you have this in a 3-way config, I can’t help there. I do recommend breaking out the user manual from Aeon to double check wiring diagrams. A quick Google search using your model number should help locate the manual pretty fast:
Going to the light there is the brown (live) and the blue (neutral)
I’m not sure what wire goes to what position in the dimmer module
Hi @karl_harris,
Did you look at the PDF manual? In my example above, my black is your brown, my white is your blue, and the bare ground should be connected to your yellow like it is now.
Yeah ok so am I right in saying in this picture. The added cables I put in the dimmer module go to the light fitting
And the main live & neutral go to the ac power live & neutral
You got it, that should work just fine.
That’s worked great thank you.
Now I’ve just got to figure out how to connect it back to SmartThings
Look in that manual for the exclude/include process.
If the device was in your zwave mesh before, and you did not exclude it, then you may be in luck. If not, exclude it and then reinclude it to the hub. SmartThings’ support site should have documentation on that here:
