3 Way Switch Wiring Diagrams Mr Electrician
Light switch only has one black wire. So i have a switch that has one black load i tested it and it has 120v one white neutral and one red. Run 2nd wemo black wire to black wire from old switch. Smart switches use a neutral and a ground wire in addition to the line and load black wires. I would check that the load wire probably black is securely connected to the screw labeled load. Open the package of wire nuts and installation screws that came with the new light fixture. With only 1 black and 1 white they are both black as far as hooking up wemo.

I should also mention that it is 5 led lights. Run white wemo to this common wire you add. Connect the black wire to the other brass screw. So far i cant seem to wire this to work. You have to have a common and i did was run a single wire from a box that uses a common wire. One is the power coming into the box the other black is power going to the light.
The switch mounting box is made for a double light switch but only has 1 switch mounted in it. The black wire from the light to the light switch did not make my meter beep so i am not sure where it goes. A single pole single throw switch such as a light switch.
