Help: Black and White Wires on Switch but No Neutral?
Home Improvement Asked on April 8, 2021
I was going to install a Kasa smart switch, which requires a neutral. When I opened up this box, which contains 2 switches that control 2 separate lights outside (porch and walkway), I noticed black and white wires going into both switches. Is this a sign of a switch loop for both outside lights? Does this mean that the white wire is not neutral but hot? Thanks for any help you can give a newbie!
One Answer
That's exactly what it means, no neutral at the location. There are smart switches that don't require neutrals so you might want to check them out.
