I have a 4 way setup (3 switches) and one main. I’m trying to figure out how to wire the addon switch here. I have 2 grounds, two blacks, and two whites, (1 of each color wire coming out of a bigger wire (2 bigger wires containing the 3 wires of each). I’m just a little confused since the addon swit…

Have you had a chance to look at the FAQ yet? It should help: [image] [FAQ] GE 3-Way Wiring FAQ I’ve decided to put this FAQ together to help those with questions about installing GE 3-way switches. Definitions of terms: Line: The hot wire from the breaker (usually blac…
