Incandescent bulb in that fixture, right. What’s the wattage? Got anything bigger?
Also, those are both from the 2-wire, right? Just asking because they’re pretty far apart.
No problem. I had already figured that out.
Just remove the black from the wire nut. Just the two connections I mentioned. There will be nothing in the neutral terminal.
You’re a genius!
I have the 2-wire black connected to LOAD
I have the 2-wire white connected to LINE
The switch powers on and the bulb turns on and off correctly when the switch is pressed.
I would have never guessed this!
Can I buy an aux switch for upstairs and if so, how do I connect it?
Is this my configuration?

Ok, so what you have is a non-neutral. The 2-wire isn’t from the panel, it’s from the light. The panel goes to the light first.
Sorry this took so long. I violated a couple of my own rules in how I diagnose and what I ignore, but that’s on me, lol.
So your lights are not between the switches. It goes panel, Inovelli downstairs, upstairs.
Yes, you can get an Aux. Here is your diagram:
You are so incredibly kind in helping me with this! THANK YOU! I would have never figured this out.
How do I diagnose this in the future? I’m replacing all the switches in my house in with Inovelli switches so I’ll bet it will happen again.
Is having the LINE be white the clue that I should haven’t paid attention to?
Yep. There are no absolutes, but electricians tend to follow conventions even though colors aren’t strictly mandated in the code. When there is an incoming hot 2-wire with the white being the hot conductor, it’s probably a non-neutral with power originating at the light.
Make sure you’re throwing both breakers when you work in that box.
Thank you so much! Words can’t capture my gratitude!
My pleasure. Glad we got it going!
