does this one require a neutral line?

Sorry but, I just went ahead and connected the neutral since it was there, I don't know if it's required.

I believe it is. But i am not 100% sure. I'd say call Intermatic support to confirm.

I simply wired it into the outlet like a normal device. black (hot), white (neutral), and green (ground).

I grounded my switch to the box and it works perfectly. I don't have ground wires either. You do need a neutral wire.

There is no simple way for a homeowner to add a neutral wire to an existing switch box. You should hire an electrician for safety reasons. Also, this is a single pole switch and will not work as a 3 way switch.

the light needs both a neutral and a hot. In my setup I only interrupt the hot. I have the hot wired through the switch and a neutral wired on the other side for the light. If you look closely you can see small wires that lead to the light on the conductors protruding from the rear.

The neutral is only hooked up to the light. I looked at all three wiring diagrams that were enclosed and the neutral does not connect to the timer.

Hi Jim. No pressure line required. The unit is all electric. It has a long, water proof power cord attached which plugs into the power controller that you will plug into a 110 volt outlet. Your outlet should be a GFCI protected outlet like is in a kitchen.

You do not need a ground connection. Just a hot line and a neutral connection.

Yes as long as the 1st line from the wall jack is the line you want to switch. It's the line with the red and green wires.

No this is a line control device and does not require any voltage to operate. Hope this helps.

I installed the timer switch I bought for my daughter in her home. I know it does not require a neutral wire. I really believe the documentation that came with it showed it could be used in a 3-way arrangement but I left that with her so I can't refer to it as to how that would be done. In her situation it just replaced a single-pole switch.

No neutral required. if you are uncertain which product you want, call their 800 number. The man I spoke with worked for Motorola for 20 years and knows the Intermatic products inside and out. He was amazing and told me exactly which one to order. My house was built in the late 1920's and only has two wires. This one works great.

Yes you do, there are instructions about connecting some wires in case you want the lines. I prefer not to have the lines so I did not connect it that way.

I believe it did require a neutral wire. If I remember my installation correctly it didn't simply drop in place of the hot switch it replaced

N - NeutralL - LiveYou will need a multimeter to see which wire coming from the wall outlet is Live and which one is Neutral. There are several videos on YouTube which show you how to do it.

I wired my switch breaking the positive line with the black and red wires. The white wire was wired the neutral. It works for me just fine.
