#BLACK WIRE FROM ONE SWITCH TO ANOTHER UPGRADE#

The common is for the live wire that supplies the input voltage to the switch. Note that the PD-6ANS is supposed to be good for single pole setups (my case) and 3-way setups. I dont need the dimmable feature, so I bought the non-dimmable PD-6ANS wireless Caseta switch. The B wire (blue) connects to the other wire from the load. A one way light switch has two terminals which is a common marked as COM or C. 4 Single pole switch replacement Im trying to replace a light switch with a wireless Caseta switch.

The neutral must be on the same circuit as the hot being switched. In summary, to connect the power from light fixture to the switch, connect the power source to the first switch by screwing in the hot wire into the black screw. The A wire (black) connects to the hot (black) wire from the power source. The Z-wave switch appears to require a neutral based on images of the product, so you will need to tap into a neutral.īe careful that you are using a real neutral and not a hot with white paint on it (this is one reason to put painter's tape over receptacle boxes when painting). If you see a ground wire connected to a current-carrying screw or terminal on a switch or outlet or to a white, black, or any other color wire, stop immediately and call an electrician to. Note: your question says there are neutrals going to the switches, but these appear to be black (hot) wires with white paint on them.

#BLACK WIRE FROM ONE SWITCH TO ANOTHER UPGRADE#

a switch fails or if you want to swap one for an upgrade like you are now). It is possible to daisy chain switches this way, or one could use a wire nut and two tails to connect to the switches (this is how I would do it, easier to rewire later if e.g. The second wire connecting the two is simply there to bring electricity from the left switch's hot to the right switch. The black wire on the left side of the left switch is the switch leg for one receptacle, and the black wire on the right side of the right switch is the switch leg for another receptacle. The black wire coming in from the top and attaching to the right terminal of the left switch is likely the 'incoming' hot wire from the panel or upstream somewhere.
