Wiring Diagrams for Gen 2 On/Off Switches

These wiring diagrams should only be used for our Gen 2 on/off switches, which are shown below -- do not use these for Gen 1!



Pre-Requisites

  1. Neutral Wire is Required
  2. Inovelli switch needs to be installed where the Line (120V) is located
  3. Do not use an illuminated dumb switch as your secondary switch
  4. Do not exceed 600W (Incandescent), 300W (LED), or 150W (CFL)
  5. Inductive Load (fans): Do not exceed 300W

Warning

Not all wire colors shown may be the same as what's in your box. While we've tried our best to match the most common setups, local electrical codes may be different than what's depicted. If your wire colors do not match, please use a multi-meter to check for continuity, hire an electrician or post in our community where someone can help. Again, we are unable to give specific wiring advice ourselves due to liability issues.

Single-Pole Installation (2-Way)

Please see below for wiring diagrams for a single pole setup. Remember, a neutral wire is required.


3-Way Installations

Three way installs are when you have two switches controlling one load. Please see below for the various configurations. Note: You can use this switch with an existing (dumb) switch or a special auxiliary (add-on) switch made by GE or HomeSeer. In some cases you can use two Inovelli smart switches (please note the limitations before installing).

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ: If you've installed a Zooz or Inovelli Gen 1 switch, please make sure you re-wire the dumb/existing side. Our Gen 2 uses different logic (traveler detection vs neutral wire detection) so if you don't re-wire the dumb/existing side to the diagrams below, it will blow out the switch.

3-Way Installation (Using a Dumb / Existing Switch)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 3-Way (two switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using a dumb / existing switch as your secondary switch. Remember, a neutral wire is required. In addition, please do not use an illuminated switch for your secondary switch.







3-Way Installation (Using an Auxiliary / Add-On Switch)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 3-Way (two switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using an auxiliary / add-on switch as your secondary switch. Remember, a neutral wire is required.

As of now, these auxiliary switches are the only ones supported:
  1. GE Enbrighten Add-On #12723
  2. GE Enbrighten Add-On #46199
  3. HomeSeer Add-On #HS-WA100+
  4. Honeywell/Jasco 39350 (Community Tested*)
There is a community thread about an Enerwave model that is a few dollars cheaper, but we have not verified this to work ourselves: https://community.inovelli.com/t/dumb-switch-for-3-or-4-way-setups/676/6

3-Way Installation (Using Two Inovelli Switches)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 3-Way (two switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using two Inovelli switches in your 3-Way setup. Remember, a neutral wire is required.

LIMITATIONS: While it's possible to connect two smart switches, there are limitations. Please read about them in this article: 2x Smart Switches in a 3-Way Setup





4-Way Installations

Four way installs are when you have three switches controlling one load. Please see below for the various configurations. Note: You can use this switch with existing (dumb) switches or a special auxiliary (add-on) switches made by GE or HomeSeer. In some cases you can use three Inovelli smart switches (please note the limitations before installing).

4-Way Installation (Using a Dumb / Existing Switch)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 4-Way (three switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using a dumb / existing switch as your secondary switch. Remember, a neutral wire is required. In addition, please do not use an illuminated switch for your secondary switch.




4-Way Installation (Using an Auxiliary / Add-On Switch)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 4-Way (three switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using an auxiliary / add-on switch as your secondary switch. Remember, a neutral wire is required.

As of now, these auxiliary switches are the only ones supported:
  1. GE Enbrighten Add-On #12723
  2. GE Enbrighten Add-On #46199
  3. HomeSeer Add-On #HS-WA100+

4-Way Installation (Using Three Inovelli Switches)

Please see below for Inovelli wiring diagrams for a 4-Way (three switches controlling one load). This assumes you are using three Inovelli switches in your 4-Way setup. Remember, a neutral wire is required.

LIMITATIONS: While it's possible to connect three smart switches, there are limitations. Please read about them in this article: Multi-Switch Limitations
