Does this require a neutral? Im replacing an Intermatic SS7

I believe it does require a neutral connection. Check behind your existing switch and I think you will find a neutral probably with a wire nut on it.

No it does not require a neutral. It can be used as a single switch or 3-way.

No neutral required. if you are uncertain which product you want, call their 800 number. The man I spoke with worked for Motorola for 20 years and knows the Intermatic products inside and out. He was amazing and told me exactly which one to order. My house was built in the late 1920's and only has two wires. This one works great.

No, it does not require a neutral. (It's battery powered.) Install instructions are available on Intermatic's web site, http://www.intermatic.com/~/media/Intermatic/Documentation/Timers/In-Wall/Electronic/ST01/ST01%20Instructions.ashx

It should be fine. This switch is just a passthru, no internal electronics.

No, these will not work. You need to order Intermatic Models 107SB234 (green-on) and 107SB189 (red-off).

Connect Neutral to white, and then hot to either of the other two leads... either Low speed, or High Speed... Not both.

I'm not sure.. The tech support at Intermatic (815-675-2321) should be able to answer the question. They were helpful when I called.

Who cares! For my money, I would not touch Intermatic, Its junk. Look at the Honeywell switch instead. I bought Intermatic before and sent it back>

Yes it does, it will not operate without the neutral as the insteon wireless radio inside it is powered by the neutral.

I installed these and I'm no electrician... I don't know what "neutral" means in this context. I just replaced the existing switch which had the black and white wires and a green grounding wire, with the motion switch which had the same wiring ...

The neutrals are not switched and they should never be. The neutral is connected to the house ground at one point only, typically at power entrance. TIP: Since you are not using the TCA1006D at entrance, make sure that the neutral bus inside the transfer switch is not grounded (remove the grounding screw).

you just need to replace one but need to modify the second (conventional) switch. see my video diy for reference. I hope this helps

I am guessing "NO" since I originally had the wiring polarity hooked up backwards and didn't have a reading.

Thanks, i'll check for the switch on the back tonight. i'm sure the polarity is correct, red to lead (+) and black to ground (-) right?

No, you need a neutral for the light to work on this device and not all light switches have a neutral but splitting the load wire is not going to work.

Yes. Now, arguably you can connect the neutral to the ground and it will still work -- but ideally this should be connected to a white neutral.

Yes. That is why I purchased a few of these switches. Keep in mind that there must be a neutral wire available in the switch box to connect to this switch.

Despite the reply from Phoenix Down... ...many of these type of devices do work without a neutral (aka grounded wire). As explained in other replies to diff questions, the grounding wire, often bare or green (not to be confused with the grounded wire..aka neutral) is acceptable by UL (Underwriters Labs) and the NAC (National Electrical Code). To simplify my reply.... ....it seems it's perfectly acceptable not to have a neutral on this device but instead the ground wire (again, green or bare copper).

This Device is designed to replace a standard wall switch, but it gives you the option to dim lights (Incandescent). It will require to be installed in the wall like a normal wall switch. There is three wires on the back, (Black, Blue and Red) The black and Blue are for the line and load, the red one is for a three-way circuit. Neutral is not required since it gets its power from the load it is controlling. Now the device communicates with controllers via Z-Wave wireless technology. Hope this answers your question, if not post another question and I will try to answer it.
