I have searched for an answer to this but have not yet found one.
I am trying to install a WD100 dimmer with multiple WA100 companion switches. First I installed the dimmer (in a 4-gang box with 2 other dimmers and a switch... talk about a hassle!). It works great.
Now i am at the first of two companion boxes. I opened it up and found... just 4 wires. There is a red traveller wire, a black and white wire (I assume line and load?) and a ground. There is no neutral bundle that I can see.
My house was built in 2013 so as far as I know all boxes should have a neutral wire. I am trying to figure out exactly what the wiring is and what my options are. I unfortunately cannot look at the fixture itself because it is a chandelier at the top of a 2 story foyer.
In other companion switches I have wired I have connected what appeared to be line and load and I believe there have been neutral bundles.
Am I out of luck? Am I thinking about the wires wrong? The switch I'm currently trying to install is the one we most commonly use and if it doesn't work I'm sure my wife won't be too happy.
I can provide any additional information that may help. I'm concerned I may need to find another solution that involves not having a neutral but I'm not sure what that would be that would work with my already installed dimmer.
Thanks
