HS210 3 way instalation with neutral in 1 box only
![](/avatar/default.png)
Hi,
I'm looking for some help installing the HS210 3way switch for my home where I only have neutral wires in 1 box.
First, is this possible? of so, would I need to replace both switches to HS210 or can I just replace 1 switch and keep the other existing switch and still have it work as a 3 way switch?
My box with the neutral wires also have 2 black and 1 red. The other box has 1 red,1 black, and 1 white.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue.
just install on of the HS210s into the box that has the neutral. leave the other one with the original dumb switch. when you do the set up you just have to cheat the second switch by saying its not ready yet.
everything works fine after that in my case so i don't see it being an issue in yours.

thanks for your help Mooda. Im still not having any luck with this. It keeps tripping my one of my GFI plugs in the bathroom which must be on the same circuit. I dont want to mess around with this exectrical too much so unfortunately Ill have to return this kit. It would have been a nice feature if I could get it set up though.
Thanks

By code bathroom GFIs won't be on the same circuit as anything else so you've got some sort of wiring problem, esp if the light is glowing. Not a good idea to guess with wiring so yeah, consult with an electrician (get one with experience with smart switches) or avoid using it there.

Hi, I have the same issue and I still can't figure out how to wire my switch.
My first box has a line and neutral wire coming in, then a 3 conductor (red, black and white) cable that goes to the seocnd box.
The second box only has the 3 conductor cable and no other cable.
How did you wire the HS210 switch in your box? I can't get mine to work at all.
Thanks
