I am new to the Innovelli ecosystem and wiring up my fist switches. I’m trying to replace a 3-way dimmer switch with a smart dimmer and an aux switch, but am stuck on the wiring.
It seems I have line and load in separate boxes - but I also have a random blue wire that I have no idea what it does (doesn’t seem to be a traveler). I also have what seems to be the neutral wire already plugged into one of the dumb switches. I’ve attached photos of the two current (dumb) switches; switch 1 is the dimmer and switch 2 is the dumb on/off switch controlling the same lights.
Im not sure what to plug in and where on the Innovelli switches - any advice would be much appreciated. Apologies for the noob question.
In a 3-way switch circuit, you will have one “common” wire and two travelers.
You will need to verify which wire is your Line wire with full time 120v and which wire is your Load wire going to your light. We can then determine which wires need to be repurposed to carry either power or neutral for the Aux switch.
Can you provide a couple extra photos of the wiring where it enters the box?
I’m no longer there to take more pics, but I verified that the black wire feeding Switch 1 is the line (it remains hot when switch is off). So I assume the other two must be travelers. There is, separately, a neutral wire that is capped off in the box.
For switch 2, I am not sure how to verify which wire is which. The white wire is attached to the black screw on the switch - maybe that means it is load? There are no other wires in the box (no capped-off neutral wires) and all three wires enter the box together.
