Quick question on the installation of the 2443-222 On/Off Micro Module installation. I have looked at the installation diagrams. I understand where the load, line and neutral wires that orginally go to the switch are go with regards to the micro module. However, I am unsure where the Yellow and Blank wires from the module go. From the installation diagram, it looks like the Yellow wire from the module goes to the load post on the switch. Where does the Black (or maybe it is dark Blue) from the module go?

 

Thanks

Are you replacing the original switch or using the original switch to trigger the 2443-222 Micro Module?

The Yellow (sense 1) and Purple (sense 2) wires are trigger wires. You can trigger the Micro Module with a 120VAC signal from the original switch. If you are replacing the original switch. They are not used  and cap them off.

If you are using the original switch to trigger it and Insteon control. Connect the Yellow wire to the Load terminal of the switch and keep a Line on the switches Line terminal. Tape off the Purple Wire and then set the 2443-222 to use a trigger on the Yellow (sense 1) wire.

In my manual page 5 of 21. Shows the Without Switch diagram and the Latching Switch diagram. Your description sounds like you either are not using a switch or a latching switch originally turning the load on. Purple would get caped off or both Yellow and Purple with no external switch.

@Brian HThanks for the quick response. I actually have 2 applications. In application #1, I plan to replace a photo sensor switch on the outside of the house that is now shaded by some very healthy landscape. So, if I understand your reponse correctly, in this application I would just tape off the Yellow and Purple (thanks for correcting me) wires coming out of the module. I application #2, I would like to keep the switch active, but would like to have to have the ability to activate the light from a scene in my eisy. So, if I understand your response again, I would attach the yellow wire to the load terminal of the swtich. Did I understand correctly. In application #2, what do I do with the Purple wire?

 

Thanks again. If I would have looked at the Start Up Guide maybe my questions would have been answered. 

This should give you a guide for wiring

 

If you replace the photo sensor and only use Insteon to turn it on and off. Use the Line, Load and Neutral to turn the light on and off. Insulate and don't use either Yellow or Purple.

The switch would use the Yellow wire for control by the switch. All unused trigger wires are taped off if not used.

Some photocell controls used a traic and not a relay. They sometimes had enough leakage off to keep the module on.
