Does the AL-001 require a neutral wire installation?

Hi Scott,My name is WillyI bought one of this and did the installation, so I think I can help you.The AL-001 needs a 3v provided by any Aeon Labs micro switch, so the AL-001 only works using one of the Aeon Labs micro switch (obs: do not work with micro dimmer)And any of the micro switches requires neutral.Example of one model: Aeon Labs DSC18103-ZWUS,White,US,AL001 Aeotec Z-Wave Micro Smart Energy Switch, 2nd Edition, White, Small

You're probably thrown off because it had two sets of terminals. That's so you can run these in series. You can attach neutral to either one of the terminals of one pair and vice versa for hot, and it doesn't matter which one. So if you only have one wire, you have one empty terminal on each side.

I am guessing "NO" since I originally had the wiring polarity hooked up backwards and didn't have a reading.

You'd have to contact Intermatic for a definite answer. It has a neutral wire but I don't know for sure if it would work properly without it connected. I think it should but that's only a guess.

No. You can use bare wire with the screw type terminals although they are fairly close together. I'd recommended banana plugs though.

Not at all. It was an easy install. I had the wire go from the battery to the switch. The switch had a ground, then went from the switch directly to the light. Then I had to ground the light. It was super easy. I put an inline fuse between the switch and the light but I don't see the need for it. All you need is some wire and wire connectors and you're set

Yes, wire to inside unit is included. #12 wire is sufficient for outside unit power, it can handle 20 amps. Some local codes require a fourth white (neutral) wire in 230 volt appliances. It acts as a backup ground and safer should something happen to the copper ground wire.

It does not require neutral, but if you want to use a "Matching" switch (one with LEDs on it) in a three-way/four-way installation, you must have a neutral wire. Otherwise, you can use a "Companion" switch (no LEDs) and not need the neutral wire for three-way/four-way.

No. You have to use a AC line splitter tool found here on amazon. The line splitter plugs into the wall and then the lamp plugs into the line splitter. Then you can use your clamp meter to measure amps. this separates the neutral and the hot wire so you can meassure the amperage.

It does not. I had two of these installed in my old house that still had it's 100 year old knob and tube wiring, so no, it does not need a neutral wire. These switches use the small lithium battery to keep time and engage the circuit. Unlike other light switches, you will hear a "pop" when it engages and disengages. It's an actual mechanical switch, hence it's comparability with all types of bulbs (CFL, LED, Incandescent, etc) and loads (motors, etc.). So, if you have an old house and want day/night timing for your porch lights, this is the switch for you.

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.

Yes it requires a neutral. An LCD operates 24/7. An led glows when powered up. Once programmed to my zip code it adjusts for sunset

No, you need to use a standard 4 wire LNB and run all 4 wires to the switch.

No it does not. Go back and check your wiring you might have reversed the polarity.

M250 do not need to have a bare copper wire connected to them now. You can if you want but not necessary. You will still need to ground all rack rails with copper wire (# 6 wire) and use a WEEB washers under all solar panel clamp points to ground solar panels to racks. Larry

Yes. A neutral wire is required for the 2477D SwitchLinc Dimmer. However, the 2474D SwitchLinc 2-Wire Dimmer does not require a neutral wire. I don't know what the functional differences, if any, are for the devices. Specs, wiring diagrams, and manuals can be viewed at www.smarthome.com.

No. I have two of these and just replaced the existing switch and enrolled it in my zWave system. You can got the Leviton.com and enter the model number then downloar a complete set of instructions. A neutral power source and a neutral wire are not the same thing however.
