Down to the point. Clear as can be. No jibber jabber. You should be a military instructor. Thank you, super job.

Thank you clear, concise, great graphics and no intense monster truck commercial energy

[keithtimothy]

Thanks soo much. I was trying to find out if it mattered for black and red to black and black. Very helpful!!!

Thanks for your video ! however you forget an important point to mention that you can program this switch with your preferred setting, no internet needed for that see instructions in Lutron manual ! A second point is that you might mention that no neutral or white wire is needed for this set-up my final point is that you might mention that in a 3 way set-up an accessory switch is available from Luthron. this switch gives you extra functionality over a regular 3 way switch.

Very straight forward and clear instructions. Thank you!

So clear and easy explanation, best part is there's no need to stress about load and line wires. This I did not know. Thank you.

[jarrettkurtz]

Great detail, great execution, great teaching. Thank you❤

[caryluu]

Thank you for this simple explanation via video! Feeling ready to replace one of my switches on my own now.

[hugolizardi]

Great video. But you didn’t comment on the 3 way secondary location requiring the yellow jumper cable.

[djdannybhtx]

great video thanks! So I do have a light switch in my house I am goign to replace today that is a single pole. When I took it out last night, it has a ground, a black, a red, and a white. What is the white for if it's a single pole?

Was so happy to find this video. Thought I had it done. Still didn’t work. But inside my wall is 3 black wires so I don’t know which one is the ground one. Ugh

[ubbme]

My old dimmer didn't have a ground wire, just 2 black wires. The electrical box isn't metal. Do i need to connect the ground wire to something? It works without it but is it a safety / fire hazard?

[NaturesInfiniteWELLth-fors]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you! I can do this! 💝

[anianelson]

Im a 28 year old girl and I did it :, ) thanks.

Is the black wire the hot or neutral coming from wall

[karenj]

Thank you so much, I feel I can do this.

[bigdog]

I have black and white wires where does the white wire go?

[waleed]

Hi! I have 3 black wires coming from the wall. I connected the black wire to black, and the other black wire to the red, and now I have 1 black wire that's exposed from the wall. What do I do with this one?

[BobbyTaylor-ycbo]

Where did you get the dual cover? That didn’t come with it, right?

[mauryaby]

Hi did everything like you but my switch doesn’t work
What could be wrong?
