Now I wire the DDLO6 in the Main box using the following wires:
Neutrals (white wires) twisted together from Group 1 & 2
Wire the Black wire from group 1 (tester indicates it is hot) to the red/ pinky lead on the DDL06
Connect the red wire in group 2 (calling this traveler 1) to the Black screw on the DDL06
connect the black wire from group 2 to the YLW/RD screw on the DDL06
Grounds are attached and connected to the box
Indicator lights are on when power is restored
Now I proceed to wire the DD00R companion into the second box:
Neutrals from group 1 & group 2 are twisted together meretted (sp?) to a small piece of white neutral wire is attached to the WH screw on the DD00R
The red wire (calling this Traveler 1) from group #2 and the black wire from group #1 are meretted together with a small piece of black wire and are connected to the BK terminal on the DD00R
the black wire (calling this traveler 2) from group 2 is connected to the YLW/RD terminal on the DD00R
Grounds are attached and connected to the box and the switch
Indicator lights do NOT turn on when power is restored. Light fixture from either switch will not turn on. When I look at the Leviton site it states that the DDL06 supports halogen lights. Any ideas how I might get these working?
Wiring can always be tricky. Since you canât get them to work from pressing the switch on the wall, I would suggest you get in touch with Leviton support. It doesnât really sound like a smartthings question at this point.
There should be a contact phone number for Leviton in the user guide that came with the switch.
As it turns out I had to call Leviton and I got my answer. Apparently the instructions provided in the box were incorrect and are in the process of being redoneâŠI have attached my wiring diagram so I can provide details to others who may have the same problem as I did.
p.s. wire nut or thimble connectors are also called Marrette connectors after the original inventor.
Officially the name belongs to the Thomas & Betts company, but itâs like Kleenex-- A lot of people use the name âmarretteâ for any brand of thimble connector.
But I think the term is more common in Canada. In the US, I most often see people say âwire nutâ and ânutted together.â
The thimble style is not used in the UK anymore after some bad experiences with early ceramic styles about 50 years ago and a general aversion to cutting wires.
