The following instructions are based on converting a 4‐way setup. There are multiple ways to achieve a 4‐way setup so you should confirm with an electrician your setup. **WARNING: For safety, always turn off power at the breaker before doing any electrical work** Information for creating Multi-way Automations can be found below, or in our iotty app instructional guide under ‘Automations’Ĭonverting a Common Traditional 4‐Way Setup to an iotty 4-Way Setup: Finally iotty smart switches are linked from a Multi-Way Automation in the iotty App.Both iotty Smart Switches also connect the power into the neutral wire connections as illustrated to ensure they have a constant power flow.Inside Switch Box 1, Neutral wire is connected with neutral wire, thus completing the circuit. Inside Switch Box 2 and Box 3, the Neutral is connected with neutral wire.The Neutral wire connects the load to Switch Box 2. Once power makes it to the load, it returns to the Main Power through the series of Neutral wire connections.That power will flow through each pass-through box through the connected Traveler wires until it reaches the control box and powers the load.When the switch is pressed, the relay between “ R1 ” and “ L1 ” will be opened or closed, preventing or allowing, respectively, the power to flow all the way from the Main Power to the Load.Then the iotty “ L1 ” lead is connected with the load wire.The Traveler wire carries the power to Switch Box 2 and 3 where it connects with both the iotty “ L ” Lead and the iotty “ L1 ” Lead.One (either) of the two Traveler wires can be capped off at both ends as it will not be used.Power flows from the Main Power to the first switch box where it is connected to a Traveler wire, Neutral, and the iotty “ L ” Lead.This ensures the switch has a constant power supply for the Backlight and Wi-Fi modules. It is important to note that for the iotty switches, the iotty “ L ” lead (Live/Hot) must be connected to a constant source of power and the iotty “ N ” lead must be connected to the Neutral.
