Installing a Smart Dimmer Switch w/ neutral wire

The “pigtail” is actually the wire that is added to the existing neutral wirenut group.
It pigtails off to the switch.

Thank you for showing how to connect the neutral wire, and clarifying that a ground wire connection to green screw on the switch isn't required if the ground is attached to the screw on gang box. Well demonstrated the process. Can you please as well show how to replace a three way regular switch with a three way smart dimmer switch. It will be very helpful. Thank you

Thanks and merry christmas

Thanks it was helpful

I have a question, from your video you show us how to check for which one is the hot with the pen. What if you don't have that? Will it say hot on the original switch? Or do we assume its always the top connection of the switch. Thanks

I need to know what switch to buy that my phone doesn't have to be connected to wifi.. Say if I'm on the road or at the park..

I want to install a Lutron Maestro PRO switch. I need a neutral wire for that switch and I have to use a pig tail like you do in the video, In my switch box, there is a group of white wires twisted just like yours. However, in the switch box, there are two other switches. I'm assuming those white wires twisted together are neutral wires.. How can I determine that hooking a pigtail wire from the PRO to those wires is the correct course of action? They have to be on the same circuit for it to be proper, correct? Thank you!

How common is it for homes to have this neutral wire? Is this also done in older homes built in 70-80's?

Very good explanation. Much appreciated 👍

Здравствуйте.Скажите,можно ли подключать данные диммер без кабеля заземления?Спасибо

I never untwist the existing wires. They're very brittle and break. Do this enough and you'll run out of wire.

Thank you. I was about to return the smart switch that requires neutral wiring to the store. After watching your video, I am able to install the new switch myself now.

thank you so much

I now know how to do something new that I have never even thought of doing before. Thorough, clear, and very easy to understand. Thanks!
