Pre setup was a single dumb non dimmer switch to a single room center light fixture. They had 14/2 running into the switch and 14/3 running from the switch to the junction box at the fixture. I put 4 recessed lights in the corners of the room run to the red hot at the center junction box (they had the black hot at the center junction box wire nutted). I’m putting a simple fan in the previous junction box at the room center. I have a blue series dimmer and canopy module so I can dim the lights and control them separate from the fan either physically at the switch or via Google home through Smartthings. All the wiring diagrams show only 14/2 from switch to canopy module. Would I just not hook up the extra load wire from at the switch and let the canopy module do the splitting and treat the 14/3 like a 14/2?
Or would I tie the red and black load wires both to the line going into the switch and leave one of them capped in the canopy and only have one run into the module?
Both should work in theory as long as I hook the black for the recessed lights to the light wire on the module and the fan motor to the fan wire on the module. And obviously ground to ground and neutral to neutral.
Thoughts/advice greatly appreciated
