Season greetings to this great community; finally got around to upgrading the house. I have installed an inovelli on/off switch in a 3 way with a dumb switch however i cannot get it to function 3 way.
The inovelli works fine in stand alone but toggling the dumb switch does nothing, tested the traveler but there is no output, what am i missing?
i thought so as well but some more info............. turning on the red switch gives 115V from the load terminal to terminal 1 on the dumb switch which turns on the light however when i toggle the dumb switch the light does not turn back on. Also when i turn the dumb switch to the position 2 it does not activate the red and when i turn on the red it outputs from the load terminal but the dumb switch is on position 2 so the light does not turn on.
Google 3 way switch images. There are many options depending on where the power comes into the circuit. You can blow a smart switch by wiring it wrong. I always start out by identifying which wires are what, then google a corresponding image. That's a very odd switch pictured there, I'd start with that's switch's documentation to figure out the traveler, which is usually the red wire, but not always
@Rxich & @thebearmay, i got the 3 way working. and the solution was really stupendous. It took me 4 hours to open each junction box (about 4) and trace all the wires verifying that wiring; once that was done i was still stumped so i disconnected the 110V double LED lamp fixture and used a normal CFL bulb which worked fine. Today i was about to remove the LED fixture and saw the labels on the two bulbs were on opposite sides so i placed both labels on the same side and voila the 3 way worked............ I am not sure but i am guessing that the LED bulbs need has a hot and neutral side that needs to be in parallel and not series........... just thought i would share the solution with you all.
