![]() ![]() I hesitate to recommend non-neutral installations, which may require a bypass at the light, possibly re-wiring at the light, and other issues. This would free up a conductor to use for the traveler. But you’d also need another conductor, which you don’t have, for the traveler between Box 2 and Box 1.ġ - Use all Inovelli switches, and control Box 1 and Box 3 via binding, or scenes.Ģ - Does Box 2 have anything else in it? If there is a hot there you could move the light to that branch circuit.ģ - You MIGHT be able to put the Inovelli in Box 2 as a non-neutral, so you wouldn’t have to send the neutral to that box. As there are two switches, i.e., in separate housings positioned at a distance, we shall call the one near the panel the primary switch and the other the secondary switch. The third conductor from Box 2 to the light would be used to pass the switched hot back to the light. A 3-way switching arrangement involves two switches in two locations controlling the same load, such as a light on a stairway. Normally, you would use two conductors to pass the hot and neutral from Box 1 to Box 2, via the light. Aux switches use less conductors, but you’re still short one between Box 2 and the light for a neutral installation. I don’t believe you’ll be able to put the Inovelli in Box 2 with dumb or Aux switches easily. How would I go about getting the Blue Series at switch 3? I have a White Series Aux switch that I can use on the other switches if need be, but would prefer to use dumb switches if possible. My goal is to replace switch 3 with a Blue Series switch. The red wire coming from the Line (again, in the top left corner of the image) is connecting directing to one of the other switches in the gang box, again unrelated to our light in question. This is represented in the attachment by wires coming out of the pigtails and not connecting to anything in the top left corner of the image. The only info not shot on the attachment is that the 1st switch is in a 4-gang box, where the line is split by pigtailling the black and white wires, respectively, and connecting to other switches in the gang box (unrelated to the light in question). ![]() The first switch is a 3-way that gets the line and connects to the light & the 2nd switch, which is a four-way that connects to the light & 1st switch (as mentioned), and the 3rd switch, which is a 3-way.
