Home Improvement Asked on February 8, 2021
I have a two gang box that I am trying to install 2 3way smart light switches into that require a neutral connection to work properly. The 3 way switches have a neutral wire in, a hot wire in and two traveler wires coming out of them. The two gang box has all the whites wires connected together with the black wires running to the two separate light switches. How would one go about wiring these two switches so they run the lights separately?
Not sure what you mean by "The 3 way switches have a "neutral wire in, a hot wire in and 2 traveler wires coming out of them". Then you said, "all the whites are connected". So that needs clarification.
There are several ways of connecting 3 way switches. my preferred way is power in to the "first" switch, 14/3 to the "second" switch, then from there to the fixtures. No code taping required, conceptually the simplest. I sounds like yours "might" be wired that way, but again, need clarification. If it is wired that way, the neutral (white) from your smart switches just need to be tied in with the other whites already there. But double check.
I know this isn't a complete answer, but I don't have enough brownie points to "comment" yet. Sorry.
