GFCI Trips for Single Pole Switch HS200

2022-07-05 14:20:07

Model: HS200

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Hi,

I am trying to install 3 smart switches alternate to each other.

First one - Single Pole Smart Switch (unsuccessful)

Second one - 3 way Smart Switch (successful)

Third one - Single Pole Smart Switch (successful)

Issue:

The issue is with the first switch, I have wired it correctly but the GFCI outlet connected to this outlet trips as I power up.

Any suggestions?

P.S. All the neutrals of 3 switches are bundled together with the neutral line.

@DYIMagic

In most cases the data transmitted is detected as a fault, which is what triggers the GFCI to trip. While we did not design the product to work in this format there are some customers who've got it to work.

I personally can't attest to any of these solutions but the easiest one appears to switching the wires that are connected to the HS200 load and live wires.
