Model: HS220  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I could use some help please.

 

During installation, I did the wiring as instructed. The one concern I had is that the bundle of wire at the back of the box was a bit tan (rather than white). I figured they might be discolored from age. Nonetheless, I connected all wires and when I flipped the breaker back on, I could not turn the lights on/off (by pressing the main switch repeatedly). Also, no lights on the dimmer switch.

 

The only thing I can think is wrong is that bundle of wires are not neutral wires. If not, what are they? (Sorry, I'm not an electrician.)

 

BTW - I'm assuming reset and restart are only used for WiFi - i.e. I should be able to manually turn the lights on/off without fiddling with those buttons.

 

Thanks for your help.

@fganter .

 

It does appear to be wired correctly.  The only thing i would try is to switch the wires to the black and red screws around.  If not you may need to hire an electircian to look at that wire bundle and determine if it is a neutral cluster or not.

Here's a picture of how it's wired. I left the netreul nut off, so you could see the wires.

Not working, as described above.

 

Any ideas?

@Carl 

 

Yeah, turns out the black wire is not the line. Reversing fixed it.

 

Thanks for your help.
