[@thatwasfunny6542]

Great video. You cover the part that no one will talk about (connecting line and load on the 3-way).

Qufinn Rene always of the howl ?w

[@rgonzo870]

Sat on this project for more than a year frustrated, and walla this video helped me!

[@TheRule1one]

With your video I had it wired up in no time thanks for all your help

[@spatel6438]

Great explanation, thank you! Tried a few other videos on how to wire this switch, but could not quite get it to work... then I came across your explanation and it all came together. Thanks again!

[@dfoxley9666]

Thank you - great video! Best on the process. Appreciated

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gilkison18]

Thanks! This was an amazing step by step! Worked great!

[@robmead3130]

Thanks bro! I've been scratching my head for the past 20 mins in regards to this add-on switch.

[@jz102102]

Thanks, probably saved me money for an electrician. Solved my problem.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Lutron Caseta is so much easier to install. Thats for sharing this info!

[@carlomannino78]

Thank you! I just finished this for my hallway lights. Your video was perfect! Everything works great!👍

[@bartpola]

Great video...very clear and easy to follow instructions. My only question is: why doesn't GE include a wire nut with the add on switch?? It would literally cost them 10 cents. You're always going to need one!

[@jeffreyschnabel7536]

Nice job - especially the tip on connecting the line/load in the slave switch

[@ricks.3037]

More helpful than the manufacture. Thanks so much.

[@ericoxford7069]

Thanks for the video! Best explanation I've seen so far. Good job!

[@mascioheyward6872]

Thank you! The connecting the line to load was the key to resolving my issue.

[@mikelindblom7885]

Thanks for breaking it down, it actually makes sense now! :-)

[@sk1ppman]

Thanks for the excellent video! This is going to save me a few headaches I'm sure.

[@RickieParks]

Thanks Bro... i needed this vid... was scratching my head from the other ones but you solved it for me and my two installs...

[@malishankitz7114]

Thank you! This helped a lot! Instead of red wire I had a white wire and I had to figure out.

[@tonyfarias859]

Thank you brother, video is helpful

[@ronnicablackhorse1681]

Thank you, I was having hard time with the second switch(companion switch) once i watchedthi this video, i was able to make it work. thank you again.

[@wecareomaha]

[@jeremiahpowell3028]

Thanks that was very helpful I’m planning on put in switches this weekend

[@nineball999999999]

Thank you! Straight and to the point.

[@nateboozer]

Thanks for posting this. Very helpful!

[@keolalessary]

Awesome video. Thanks for the help and how to!

[@TT-dz8zf]

Man! This is so helpful. Thanks a lot for making this video!

[@williamhanlon8159]

Excellent,clear an concise Thanks.

[@jabernathy8759]

Thanks for the video. It for sure helped me getting it up and going. The blue tooth works fine as does the master switch. However- the secondary switch does not seem to function. Any ideas?

[@gregorypruitt5068]

For the wire that you placed the tape onto, is that the line or load? I don't recall you saying what wire that was. Also, can you install only one smart 3-way on one side and one standard 3-way on the other side?

[@FLJAMESFL]

Thanks big time bro, worked like a charm. Thanks again.

[@xcrosswordsx2252]

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I can't read wiring diagrams and I was trying to figure this out, would never have done it without you! Do I out have a video for 4 way switches?

[@MelL773]

Thanks for sharing, really helped a lot!!!

[@sivucit]

Hi, there are 2 travel wire, how do u know which is load line wire out of those 2 travel wire. you just picked one color

[@johnwicked9301]

So if you wire the add on that way, it means that hot will hot at all times correct.

[@c-dub3239]

Yo man you saved the day bro. Thanks a million

[@lucianotomagnini8082]

Thanks for the video man. That helps a lot. Let me ask you a question. if I'm not using a dimmer, just an on/off switch, do i need the add on still ?

[@j.kennethhilbun7741]

nice job! where there master goes all my wiring looks like yours, but for the add on I have, red, black white and ground. any ideas on how to wire. Thanks

[@TheNewYorkHustle]

thanks brother. your video helped with my install it

[@Elchingodejalisco]

We’re did you put the red traveled wired at?

[@roderic96]

Thank you! That was really helpful

[@AJCoReTV]

3-way question: How could I tell which outlet is master? I tested with meter, as follows: Box 1(2gang): has 2 hot wires & 1 load. Box 2(single box): has 1 hot wire & 2 loads. I have no idea which is traveler? Is traveler always hot? Confused

[@ericilkwatson5557]

Can I install 3 way z-wave dimmer, but do not replace the second switch and use it only as on/off? Will it work? How to wire it?

[@yideng23]

great job! thank you! you helped my problem!!

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Danny Lee these switches are the most confusing switches ever made. Glad I could help a bit . I was confused as hell trying to get these to work.

[@jslawsby_W5GI]

I have mine working but the blue light isn't on... does that mean i have to switch the main and add-on?

[@loonytik25]

What is the point of having the Add-On Switch? Will the switch that is not "Smart" no longer work if you don't use an add-on?

[@jz102102]

Only need add on switch if you have 2 switches controlling same light.

[@zeinnaja]

Thank you sir!

[@prawpraw-u5e]

Oh, it's me why change by z-wave tutorial lights edition.

[@prawpraw-u5e]

Why have light Traffic edition!?

[@maxrv8274]

So in my situation one of my add-on switch location is End-of-Line so it only has Red, White, Black, and Copper....no second Black. The only way I could get the main switch to function correctly was to connect the Black and White together in the Add-on switch box with red as a traveler and copper to the green terminal. However, while the primary switch functions correctly, the Add-on switch does nothing....it is dead. Does anyone know how to hook it up correctly if your add-on location is the End-of-Line?

[@michaelhinchey]

Do I need to connect the two switches via a smart hub before the add on will work? I can turn on and off from one side (smart side) but I cannot turn off from the add on side? Any guesses?

[@antoneluekenga5334]

I did the same thing added my add on switch went to turn add on on it turned lights on then they went off automatically.so I got rid of the add on switch,used my old 3 way switch and connected my neutral to the black terminal and the red traveler line to the upper brass screw and all worked fine .

[@Slyder695]

nice tutorial!

[@gbadass]

Thank you😀

[@toddpitts1410]

Awesome! Thank you 👍

[@GabrielCastro_FL]

How do i know witch switch is the master?

[@MelL773]

If you disconnect everything from your 2 switches and the panel breaker is on it will be the switch that has one of the black wires with 110-120vac (USA).

[@salcamacho5863]

what if I have a 4 way set up?

[@kallankuper8647]

THANK YOU!!

[@144steveg]

Thank you!

[@loonytik25]

What is the point of having the Add-On Switch? Will the switch that is not "Smart" no longer work if you don't use an add-on?

[@SmoothbassmanStudios]

Loonytik Correct!! If you have a three way application, the process will not work unless you have two smart switches. That second switch is a control pass-thru back to the 1st switch using the neutral wires. The load is being controlled from the main switch.
