Is TP-Link HS200 right switch that suits my current switch design
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have 3 switch panel:
From left to right
Switch 1: Controls the outside lights. There is only one switch no other switch in the house or garage controls the outside light.
Switch 2: Controls the chandelier. Behaves same as switch 1, no other switch in the house controls the chandelier.
Switch 3: Controls the hallway lights. There are two other switches in the hallway that controls the same lights.
I want to replace switch 1 with TP-Link HS200. However, there is one red wire coming from box it is wrapping around switch 1 then going to switch 2 and then to switch 3.
Now here is what I was thinking and need some expert advice as I am new to this:
- if I can somehow manage to take the same red wire part that is connecting to switch 1, connect that to HS200 Black wire 1.
- Yellow wire connect that to HS200 black wire 2
- HS200 white wire to white wires connected in the box.
This switch box doesn't have ground wire and I checked other switches that control the hallway lights they also don't have ground wire. They just have a bunch of orange wires. Is it okay to leave the ground wire as is? I bought a small green color ground wire from home depot, but I don't where I should connect to in the box.
