I only have 3 wires in the box: One black, One white, and a ground. How am I supposed to connect this timer? thanks,

You need to find the load wire. It's probably black. Find the hot wire..black to the switch black. Load wire to blue switch wire. White box wire to switch white wire. Ground the bare wire to the box.

Black to black. White to white. Blue to load side. You don't use the Redwire unless you have a three way switch set up.

You don't need the red wire if you are not using a second switch for a three way circuit

If you truly have only 3 wires total regardless of color than you can not use this switch. The light you are trying to turn on is using a switch leg where you connect black to white with a standard 2 pole light switch. There needs to be 6 wires in the box for this switch to work. No disrespect to the other people who answered but I don't think they read the problem statement correctly.

If you only have one set of wires in the box it probably will not work. You require two sets of wires.

I used 2 110 breakers that are next to each other a black wire in each one, white wire to ground. You can use a dedicated 240 breaker if you wantbut 2 110 breakers next to each other will do the same thing. I called the seller and that the way he said to hook it up.Jay Trumbojt61@hotmail.com

Here is a link to a video description of how I have mine wired and set up. I figured I can take a few minutes out of my day to help you out with this. Hope it helps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFQOC2s84Wk

It has five wires, BUT you need to have three wires in your box not counting ground (black, white,and potentially red) if you currently have a standard light switch, and this has always been a standard light switch, odds are you just have two wires (and a ground) which means this switch will not work for you (the box says neutral is required, but the amazon description doesn't mention this.)

both of the ones I have are 2 prong plugs (but I am using them connected to 3prong timers - I would suggest getting 3 prong timers as you may find yourself using them for other things also...)

you connect the 2 timer in series or parallel? (if series the timer front and back in the circuit may cause the on off problem) You are saying the timer can not switch to auto and the manual function also not working? Had you check your supply at the timer terminal is it connected correctly? The timer activation time "on" and "off" is set correctly? Do you set it to be turn on and off on specify day or everyday (need set and select day/days)

The Instructions are a little confusing, I had to just go by what each wire does: I used Conventional Diagram! I also Double checked connections On the internet utilizing how my old one was connected & tagged the wires with the corresponding letters shown on the wiring diagram? I don't know if I have confused you more O actually helped you? Good Luck! =O)

you have to find the wire that runs the day time running lights and connect the red to it. the black wire is the ground wire.

The neutral is only hooked up to the light. I looked at all three wiring diagrams that were enclosed and the neutral does not connect to the timer.

use tricable with red,white and yellow wires on both ends. Attach to your unit and match to t.v.colors. You will be up and running in 2 min.

My unit is working at beginning Amazon ships unit without pin on/off timer you must buy separate. Connected black wireon left white/white wire on rright then set time then set timer on/off should work good luck

I had to go look. There are two terminal blocks. One with 3 and one with 4. My system is wired thus: 3 Term- unused, green,yellow through resistor., 4 term - Black, red, unused, unused. I just diagramed the old one before removing it and placed the wires back on the same terminals. I don't have any other colored wires with this system. My guess is the 4 term block are + and - and the 3 term block are the outfeeds to the monitor/alarm panel. Hope that helps.

You have to wire it yourself. It only comes with the three wires. It will not plug in until you wire it up with a plug.

The one I have is 2 pads on one wire and another 2 pads on another wire. There are 2 spots in the unit to plug in 2 wires. One to the left side and one to the right side Hope this helps

Not as I noticed. There are three wires black, white, green. To connect correspondingly to hot, neutral and ground, no other wires.

Hi Maxime, you may have the wires connected up wrong, I joined the two red wires together on plus, then black on minus leaving fine black, not connected see how that will work good luck Chris

I have a seventy year old house and there is only a black and white, no ground wire. The Lutron switch has two black wires and a ground. I hooked the black wires up to the black and white and the switch did NOT work without a ground. I know, because I tried it that way and then called their help line and they confirmed that a ground is necessary. The box that I put the switch in is metal and I read that the 'old school way,' when they built a house, was to wrap one wire around a box and then string that wire to the next box, and so on, until the end and where they just ground the one wire. So, I attached the switch ground to the box, and it worked. I don't know if that helps, but I thought I would share that older houses WON'T have a ground wire.
