So I have a couple of silly questions. 1.) do I need to have both modules hosted outside or can I have one in my closet of my house and the other one in my garage? 2.) Internet from my house to my garage, which is a couple blocks away, I need a second router for the garage? 3.) can I still use the same IP address as my home?

Very nice. I've been thinking about adding a computer repair workshop building for a home business soon and this device would make it much easier (and cheaper) to get internet service from the house to the shop.

Did I somehow miss the part where you explained why you just didn't use 10/2 wire instead of 10/3 and had to tape the red conductor wire or don't they sell 10/2 in Canada ? Edit; I see further down in the comments where you say it's 8/3 wire for future upgrade to 50amp. Hard to tell on video the gauge of wire.

Is this temporary? Would have looked much cleaner if you had run the wiring through the inside of the cabinets and poked out through the bottom at each light. I definitely don't want to see those wires

Exactly what I been looking for. Thank you.

Thank you sir. Awesome video

Put in 6 of the one year ago. Two have failed. Is this normal???

The trick is that these aren’t normal “on-off” switches, basically they break one circuit and energize another one (power is always flowing through part of the switch) whenever they are flipped. Rather than a single pole single throw switch that just breaks or energizes a circuit.

If I install receiver, can I still control the light with wall switch?

Watch out for electricians trying to use 2 conductor cable to go between the 3 ways ans 4 ways. They do this to use cheaper 2/C rather than 3/C as is needed to bring the neutral from the first switch to the last switch, which may be on the other side of the house. To get a neutral to go from the last switch to the light what is done is to grab a neutral from the nearest box. This means current comes from the panel through one knock-out hole, but then returns in a different hole.in the panel CODE VIOLATION, with a big enough load there can be heating in the box.

Got it.

Thank you this was very helpful to me.

12 years old and the only video i found that mention the red wire. Thank you so much for saving me after about 2 hrs of searching what to do.

Great video, particularly because it explains how the 4 way switch functions, instead of just explaining how it's wired.

So u only break one side of the outlet?!

What If the other end has a 2 prong input slot

Best description and animation of how it works

It's not a three way switch but a two way switch, that's where the confusion comes in.

Thanks for that info. Take care.

Ok I have an issue with a closet light that suddenly stopped working. House was built in 2003. I have done no electrical work previously. Checked bulb first no issue there. Got my voltage tester out and no power on the hot to the switch. But then I checked the 2 neutrals that were tied together in the box and there is power on the neutrals. I checked the other switches and outlets on the circuit for a loose wire and nothing. Breaker has never popped. I’m stumped on this one.

I'm going to sacrifice my split receptacles because I have a child who is at the age where she's old enough to do stuff around the kitchen. I remember how well I listened to instructions, at her age, and I don't want her to make the same stupid mistakes I did.

ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, Thank you!

Thank you Sir for Sharing, it’s Big Help. Step by Step, make easy for us, more Power.

U r a genyus, thank u

The receiver is a nightmare to install on my model

Thank you soooo much!!

Thank you, Terry.

would be nice to see how he got that box done...

Thanks Very Much, Simple When You Know How.😄👍👍👍

thank you so much for the lesson on breaking the tab. Awesome and solved my problem

Please let me know, how much cost the electricity RV DVD 📀 instructional? Thanks 🙏.

Hello 👋 Terry Peterman it's a nice introduction to the beginning but how was finished with your RV? I have a question ❓ how can converter to a single house electric system? My RV.

You install the box first then you slide the retainers on the sides

Im going to be wiring my bonded grnny to a main panel at camp. No sevice is hooked up from utility company. How do i safely connect to my breaker box from a input not a transfer switch,since i wont be transfering loads? House is wired but no utility power to the house,would like to power it solely from the generator

Wonderful presentation, I am trying to understand the following: If the power and the fixture are on the same 3-way switch, how does that affect the wiring diagram?

Man how do you splice it without over twisting the wires so much? Every time i perform a splice, the wires gets way to over twisted.

Got it! Thanks.

People may also want to move the table! Da

I untightened the screws, turned it on high, let it run, and no clicking. I was so happy!!! So I climbed back up and tightened the screws while being sure I didn't bump anything. Turned it back on and its clicking again. what do you think I am doing wrong?

Thank you so much for this! So helpful

Hi Terry, to start from the beginning, how do find which 3 way switch is the number 1 and not number 3? In your demo, the 3 switches are on the same line, or circuit breaker, but in a home the 3 switches are all over. In my home, the upstairs is the 4 way switch. Downstairs, I have two 3 way switches, so can you tell me how to find which one is the first, and which is the third, the one goes to the light? Thank you so much. Without knowing that, I think there is no way to find the travelers wire in the 3 switch, I think.

Mine is slightly bent so i bent it back to being straight. Its not loose. Is that fine??

Perfect!

Contrary to popular belief 120 volts is more dangerous since your brain tells your hand to let go of 240 volts whereas with 120 it doesn't, leading to death from electrocution, I had an expert electrical engineer explain this to me years ago

Thank you!! I have a 3 way switch in my home, with other things on the circuit. It was driving me nuts! Watched this video, fixed in 2 minutes! Thanks a million billion trillion quadrillion!

Nice

Very similar circumstance. I have a split receptical in my kitchen, but the circuit only runs a single split receptical. If I want to change to GFCI, can I simply omit the red wire by disconnecting at the breaker and capping the red in the outlet box? I'd also have to change out the breaker to single pole - but I'm thinking I'm actually gaining a breaker slot. Does this make sense?

Thanks...

Thanks, superior advice and guidance. Your detailed explanations are quite useful for DIY's as well as professionals...
