Installing a Lutron Caseta Smart Switch in 4 Way Lighting Application (at the 4 Way Switch Location)

[@davidrinaldis2351]

I feel sorry for the next guy that opens up these boxes 20 years down the road. "What the ????? did the previous owner do?"

[@drsg9124]

What if you want to keep the original switches?

[@mastershredder2002]

do a video on the m3

[@DukeWayneLopez]

Thank you for sharing this install. This is exactly what I was looking for. The wife didn't want the 4 way switch in our kitchen to be the remote. She wanted the smart Diva dimmer to be at that spot. Without your video, I couldn't have known how to do it without burning down the house lol. Thank you again and have a blessed day!

Cheers. Glad I could help!

[@matthewtotten7236]

so then what do i do with the 2 neutral black wires coming out of the 4 way with the lutron dimmer?

[@matthewtotten7236]

thank god i checked myself bc idk what would happen but who has black wires as common? white wires are the common wires in the U.S.

[@matthewtotten7236]

^^still though, do i just cap the 2 neutral white wires at the 4 way site im trying to install the dimmer?

[@jennifersartin9143]

If the neutrals are truly neutrals tie them together the wire doesn't know what color it is it just does what you tell it to do

[@shellysadventures2875]

So I want to be sure I understand because we want to apply this. You had 3 total switches in the beginning and ended with 4 (the pico remote on the wall in the garage?)??

[@briansetliff]

Thank you sir, this solved my problem as well. Works like charm!

[@scottmcclenahan6681]

Well that's cheating 🤣🤣

[@doctornaters]

Great video appreciate the info!

[@chrisryan8894]

Wow. Confusing as hell 👎 never heard the term “traveller wire” either. Load/line wires is what we use

[@matts-backyard]

I guess you haven’t installed a 3 way switch then… Line and Load apply to a normal switch, but if you have another switch as part of the circuit, the “traveller” wire is the wire that runs to that other switch (in addition to Line and Load)

[@leecorsack]

Line refers to the power from the panel, load refers to the light fixture (load is always the item what is being powered on - in this case the garage lights), the “travelers” simply provide power between the switches, but the switch on/off position dictates which traveler sends the current and if the current will be sent to the light.

to understand 3 way, 4 way (or X way) circuit, this video does an amazing job: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXSrc3ZplJiSeZI
