Switchlinc and GFCI

[Steigs]

Forgive me if this has been posted before, a search didn't turn anything up..

 

I'm trying to replace the standard on/off switch controlling my pool light with a non-dim Switchlinc.

 

The switch is currently downstream of a GFCI outlet in the control box.

 

With the Switchlinc in place, the GFCI trips the instant I turn the breaker back on.

 

I've replaced the GFCI with a new one, same issue.

 

I've wired the Switchlinc without the GFCI and it works fine (Yeah, I know.. it was only for troubleshooting purposes..).

 

Is there something about the Switchlincs that makes them incompatible in a GFCI circuit?

Some GFCI outlets cause that difficulty, others do not. I haven't had any difficulty with Leviton GFCIs. Other have indicated similar success.

+1 I have used Leviton both standard GFCI and their more feature rich self test models without issues.
