Do you need neutral wires like the wen

As others have said, yes, this model needs neutral wires.However, if you find yourself in a situation where you don't have a neutral wire, please note that Insteon has released the 2474D, which is an RF only and does not require a neutral wire.

Yes it does, it will not operate without the neutral as the insteon wireless radio inside it is powered by the neutral.

I have been using the neutral wires in all of my installations. I'm not sure how it will operate if not connected.

the common is for your input voltage you want to use for the output(no/nc). Your neutral or negative would go to the device you are controlling. The output(no/nc) would then go to the hot or positive of the device you are controlling.

Most generator hubs are AC so there is no need to worry about the polarity of the wires as you attach them to the hub terminals using the connectors already present. Look for your hub user manual online for that info if desired.

I don't remember it being optional when I searched for mine however the installation instructions showed how to wire it either way.

Yes, you would have your two hot or power wires your neutral and then a green safety Ground

It does not. I had two of these installed in my old house that still had it's 100 year old knob and tube wiring, so no, it does not need a neutral wire. These switches use the small lithium battery to keep time and engage the circuit. Unlike other light switches, you will hear a "pop" when it engages and disengages. It's an actual mechanical switch, hence it's comparability with all types of bulbs (CFL, LED, Incandescent, etc) and loads (motors, etc.). So, if you have an old house and want day/night timing for your porch lights, this is the switch for you.

There is no simple way for a homeowner to add a neutral wire to an existing switch box. You should hire an electrician for safety reasons. Also, this is a single pole switch and will not work as a 3 way switch.

Grounding the neutral is not allowed per electric code. The EI 600 model is the same timer but does not require a neutral wire.

No. Best to use wire nuts. I seem to recall there were 2 black wires for the hot and switch-leg (doesn't matter). If you have any questions recommend you contact a professional electrician.

Yes it does. All you need to do is use the ones that are needed. Eliminates having to strap excess wiring out of the way.

I believe it does require a neutral connection. Check behind your existing switch and I think you will find a neutral probably with a wire nut on it.

No, the switch does not require a neutral. It is single pole, meaning that it simply interrupts the black (power) line that continues on to the light that will be turned on/off. It does need a green, ground leg to be wired into your green-ground circuit though. See wiring colors on the switch at: http://www.amazon.com/GE-Motion-Sensing-Switch-Pack/dp/B001UJPJ60#productDetails you will just see two black and one green.

Despite the reply from Phoenix Down... ...many of these type of devices do work without a neutral (aka grounded wire). As explained in other replies to diff questions, the grounding wire, often bare or green (not to be confused with the grounded wire..aka neutral) is acceptable by UL (Underwriters Labs) and the NAC (National Electrical Code). To simplify my reply.... ....it seems it's perfectly acceptable not to have a neutral on this device but instead the ground wire (again, green or bare copper).

I can tell you that your generator must be a floating neutral. If the kit you mention is what the generator manufacturer recommends to make it a floating neutral, then yes you do need it. Each bonded neutral generator is different, some only require that a wire be removed, others require mod hardware (if they can be modified at all - some cannot be). Be safe and do what the generator manufacturer recommends even if it costs a few extra dollars.

No wire. You would probably better off buying your own anyhow and selecting the proper gauge needed for the distance needed.

Yes, absolutely. Additionally, it is very easy to install. All you need are a screwdriver and a pair of needle nose pliers to facilitate bending the three wires that carry the current. The green wire goes in the green colored screw slot; the black wire goes in the dark screw slot and the white wire goes in the shiny/bright screw slot. Make sure you tighten well to reduce the chance of corrosion.

This is a three way switch and it wires no differently than other three way switches. You would be only be wiring hot (black), traveler (red) and ground (bare) to the switch.... The neutral (white) would not be involved with the switch. Not sure if that answers your question. Please study wiring carefully or use an electrician if you are unsure of how to install these.
