Hs200 wires right but will not work
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I bought HS 200 switch. I have a porch light that is in the same box with 2 other switches. It is independent of the other switches. I pulled out the neutral wires and attached one to my HS200. It worked but the lights kept blinking. I shut it down and re wired it as I saw that the neutral I attached was coming from one of the other wire sets. I used the correct white wire and it isn't working. What am I doing wrong ?

@Kathie68 If you removed one of the white wires from the group of whites, that was the wrong step.
Put that white wire back in the group and add the white from the HS200 to the group of white wires.

If the HS200 is installed in a single-pole double-throw it will cause the lights to flash. The HS200 is designed for a single-pole single-throw.
If you happen to have another outlet that controls a single light you can see if that may work.

@Tony so what do I get? I assumed it was single since it is the only switch for the light ?
