You have one 3-wire Romex in each switch box with each of the three conductors attached to the three terminals of the switches. (Ignoring grounds). As you suspect, this suggests a power to the light non-neutral configuration as in the drawing below. [Screenshot_20220717-005452_Chrome] You will h…

Thanks for the detailed response. Would I need a aux switch also to get full scene /multi tap control. And do I have to wire the main non neutral Smart switch and or aux switch any special way or is it just in the instructions that would be with the non neutral inovelli Smart switch.

Yes to both. You are going to need an Aux switch due to the wiring complexity. You will need the to-be-released Blue series for the multi-tap support on the Aux, as the Red series does not support that. You are also going to have to re-wire at the light box where the switched hot is returned. (T…

Thanks for the help. Also will I need to purchase a bypass and install it?

[image] champnewman11: will I need to purchase a bypass That depends upon your load. If they are LEDs and draw minimal power, then probably. The general rule is if the load exceeds 25W then you won’t need one, but that does not always hold true. I would buy one just in case. If that 2-wire…

3 way switch not in provided diagrams Wiring Discussion

He does have a power to the light situation, but it’s not that diagram. So that solution won’t work. @dc77 has a single 3-wire to each box. That means that power is to the light, but there is no Romex connection between the boxes. Instead, there is one 3-wire from the light box to each switch but nothing between the switches. From what @dc77 described, this diagram is correct: [image] There is a way to wire this, but unfortunately, it involves re-wiring at the light. From the light box…
