Thread: 3way switch thats not?

  1. #1

    3way switch thats not?

    Sorry but trying to wire up a Maestro Sensor switch to the laundry room (already did my closet and pantry) but the laundry room has 3 black wires it appears to be a 3 way switch but it is the only one that operates the light? What am I missing?
    Thanks,

    Lou-

    It sounds like the power is coming into the box and continues on to the next. Sometimes the connection is made on the switch itself. The screw on the side and the stab-in terminal on the back are connected inside the switch.

    So do I just treat it like I did the others and join all black wires together or do I have to find out where the "next" switch is and add a companion switch?
    Also, thank you for the reply.

    You will need to identify the wire going up to the light. Tie the other two together.

    Sorry just one more question, with the wire that goes to the light do I attach that to the Blue wire on the Maestro sensor?
    Thanks

    No. The blue wire/terminal would be used to communicate with an additional switch (which you don't have). Make sure you cap it off.
