I was being sloppy and rushing, and didn’t make sure the wing nut was as tight as it should’ve been–which resulted in a hot wire popping out and touching the contact on the neighboring switch when I was orienting the switches in the box. Totally and 100% my fault and straight up stupid move (especially considering the shortage of Z-wave chips right now). I’ve left the air gap open for about 24 hours, and also turned off power to the whole circuit, but the switch seems totally and truly dead. Doh.
My question is: is there anything I can do with this switch now? It’s an LZW31-SN. Can it be replaced/repaired? Scrapped for parts? Perhaps a modern art piece?
Thanks!
