Smart Light Switches - Combining Multiple Switches

quote:

---

do smart switches allow for you to combine two circuits?

---

You just assign them to the same room or light

What exactly are you trying to do?

Smart switches are no different than regular switches in that they control the flow of electricity. They simply allow that function to be tied to the IoT.

You can swap both switches with a smart switch without difficulty. That would result in 3 switches, 2 smart and 1 “dumb”.

You can also combine the two exterior switches into one smart switch. This would require rewiring the “out” of each switch to the one “out” of the smart switch. This would be the same as combining circuits on a “dumb” switch. You’d then have one smart switch, one “dumb” switch, and one blank.

One important thing to note, the switches must be on the same circuit breaker to combine them.
