Q:
Which device location has the “hot” wire versus the “load” wire?
A:
To determine this safely, begin by confirming that power is off to all of the
device locations controlling the three‑way load at the circuit breaker. Remove
both devices and cap all of the exposed wires in the electrical box to make
sure no wires in the box are accidentally touching.
Turn the power back on to the device locations. Find your non‑contact voltage
tester. Place your voltage tester next to each of the wires. The voltage tester
should indicate which wire is receiving power from the circuit box (refer to
the voltage tester’s user manual for details on operation).
The “hot” wire is the powered wire. This is the device location for your smart
remote switch. The “load” wire directs power to your light(s) and will not be
powered. The “load” wire is the device location for your master smart switch.
To safely complete your wiring, turn off power at the circuit breaker until the
device is secured into the wall.
