Trying to setup 3 way switch GE Smart Switch Z Wave [SOLVED]

[TN_Oldman (Don)]

Did you take pictures before you unwired the dumb (original) switches?

It’s not always obvious where the master switch goes and where the remote switch goes.

Remember smart switches DO NOT wire up the same as dumb switches.

Refer to these drawings at post 12. Maybe they will help you figure out how yours is wired.

Help with 3-way

Just in case anyone else is having issues with wiring the switches in a 3-way, we put some diagrams together for 2 types of wiring you’ll most likely encounter when trying to switch from your existing 3-way to a Z-Wave 3-way. MOST COMMON WIRING: [image] Rewired using the Zooz master and GE add-on switch: [image] LESS COMMON WIRING: [image] Rewired using the Zooz master and GE add-on switch: [image] It’s also possible that you wiring looks like that which means it does not include a neutral wire in which case you will NOT be able to use these switches: [image]

Also a drawing / images helps others to visually see what you have.
