Noob here, looking for some help. I installed a Blue 2 in 1 switch into a single pole w/o neutral installation powering an LED light fixture. After installation, the switch was stuck in the booting loop and would not respond to any config commands. I pulled the switch out and switched the load and line, but it is still stuck in a boot loop.
What would be the next logical step in troubleshooting this issue? I do have a Aeotec bypass that I was hoping to use in a separate location, but should I install that here as it may be a low voltage issue?
Thank you! I added the bypass and it fix the reboot loop issue i was having. However, now when the light is turned on, the light will flash twice and then the switch will reboot. Is this the scenario where you recommend using a 2nd bypass? Do i just install it in parallel like i did the first? Can i use the same wire nuts (actually wacos) and just have 2 bypasses in each nut?
You may need to add a 2nd bypass as @harjms suggested. However, before you do that I’d recommend that you ensure your switch is wired properly.
In your original post, you stated that you reversed the two conductors connected to the line and load terminals from how it was wired initially. It’s not clear if you tested to determine which was the hot originally. But if you haven’t, test to determine which is which. They are not interchangeable, and improperly wiring can potentially damage the switch.
It makes sense to get the switch wired properly before you expend the time and effort on another bypass.
Also, did you configure the switch to be in the Smart Bulb Mode?
If the wiring is good and verified as @Bry suggested then another bypass should work. Unfortunately non-neutral setups are difficult to solve as each bulb has its own characteristics.
Also, what are you using to control the light fixture? Smart bulb should be enabled if you’re using a smart fixture. If that’s the case you could always rewire at the light fixture and send neutral down to the switch. You won’t have any ways to shut off the load to the light fixture except at the circuit breaker. Just a suggestion that’s not always recommended, but if you’re not worried about frequent access or selling your property I’d go that route.
