Need help to use Lzw31-sn to replace single pole outlet switch

Yes there are two Romex 14/2 at top left. One at top right. The jumpers are still in place on both sides of the recptical.

OK… here’s what you need to do:

Turn your breaker OFF.
Plug something into the wall receptacle to verify power has been disconnected.
If need be triple check!

Connect all the black wires together
Connect all the white wires together

In my sketch you would be running the black and white for the switch box through the receptacle. This requires you to only need to connect the 3 Blacks and the 3 Whites. As opposed to trying to connect 4 blacks and 4 whites.

Connect your Inovelli in the switch box as shown:
Black to “LINE”
White to “Neutral”.
The TRAVELER and LOAD will not be connected to anything.

When you are done:

  1. The wall receptacle will be ON all the time with no ability to switch it off.
  2. The Inovelli will not directly control anything. You will be able to control things through your hub.

Unfortunately I have just come down with the flu. So I will try this in a day or two. Thank you for all of your help!

I hope you get well soon.

I am working on a cold myself.
