11/21/2023 0 Comments Pool control panel gif outlet![]() ![]() I have put many insteon outlets on the secondary side of a GFCI without issue. When it comes to installing insteon on any circuits we don’t want to look for work around but rather wire them in the matter in which they were intended. Just a point of clarity not an accusation. Other then a relay On / Off you should not put an insteon switch on the line side of any outlet. I will add you can get some slight signal attenuation through the GFCI but a properly setup insteon infrastructure will not have a issue communicating with it. And swapping of them will likely trip two ArcFaults. A house with Arch Fault breakers is even harder to keep the right hot with the right neutral. You also can use a different hot (circuit) and the neutral from the GFCI. This is not a limitation of insteon but the GFCI doing what it’s supposed to do if a load (insteon device in this case) is wired wrong The insteon Connection needs to be made to the line side hot and neutral of a GFCI or the load side Hot and neutral.Īny variation of this will trip the GFCI because it doesn’t see the same current on both hot and neutral What you can’t do is connect the insteon device on the load side of the GFCI’s hot connection but put the neutral connection to the line side of the GFCI If wire correctly they should be compatible on the secondary side of the circuit. Ive installed a lot of insteon switches so I'm pretty damned sure I'm wired correct but GFCI + Insteon is new to meĪny issues with GFCI breakers and insteon on off sw switches? Or maybe something else?Īs an electrician myself I’m not sure what you are referring to regarding insteon not being compatible with GFCI devices. ![]() Killed the ground wire to make sure it wasn't aĭisconnect the load wire with just line, neutral and ground and no lights illuminate on my switch. And the manufacturer label asserting yes white is neutral.and my multimeter backing that up as far as I know) There wasn't a neutral on the SPST switch that the pool company installed and knowing my insteon switch requires a neutral I ran a 12 awg wire from the left bus bar of the pool box.(all white wires coming from that bar. So today I replaced the paddle switch with an Insteon On/Off paddle switch with no success A basic paddle SPST switch was installed between the transformer and a class A gfci 15 amp breaker to mains I searched and didn't find so if it's been addressed in the forum I apologize.ĭont know a lot about pools but my new inground pool has a big 12V LED spot evidently powered by a pretty massive ACDC converter in the exterioir pump electrical box.
