Just got the z-wave wall switches in today. This is the very first time I am dealing with this and dont want to shock myself and dont want to hire an electrician
I unscrwed my original wallplate and found that there is a red wire, and black wire that comes from within the wall and it is held in place on the switch with a screw for each of them. There is also a ground wire attached to the switch with a screw.
On the z-wave switch there is a black and blue wire with a copper ground wire.... Do I twist these on to the black and red wires coming in from the wall? Deeper inside the wall there are more wires with a big red cap on it... I don tknow what this is
Can anybody give me any hints.
****EDIT***
nevermind they are not connected to the screw terminals the original is just like the z-wave switch now I guess I have to dig everything out and find out where they are going
