![]() That box is shared with a simple on/off light on a separate circuit and no wires are shared. On the box by the exterior door, the red wire, black with white paint, and white are all hot. This box is shared by a functional three-way zwave switch to the stairs light. There are also two 2-wires o' mystery that are just connected to the hot pigtail (black) and neutral pigtail (white) and sit in the back of the box, silently taunting me. ![]() Another black/white-paint wire from a separate romex was originally wired to the common screw of the original three way I removed because the switch had cracked. There is a 3-wire romex for the overhead lights, where the red wire is hot,Ī white wire is hot, and a black wire with white paint is hot, although it goes to a hot pigtail. On the box at the base of the stairs, there are three 2-wire entries, two of which go to a black/hot pigtail and white/neutral pigtail. In both boxes, all three wires in one of the 3-wire romex cables coming into the box are hot. In both boxes, 3-wire goes to the switch with common and two travelers. I know of two switches that control our basement overhead lights. However, there is a three way in the basement that has me scratching my head. Most were simple like three-way switch common/traveler swaps. I just moved into a new house and noticed several electrical gremlins that I've been picking away at. Ultimate goal is to install a zwave switch on this circuit, requiring me to identify hot, load, traveler, and neutral. ![]() Need help identifying wires and solving a mystery of everything being hot.
