That's reassuring teletrix. ;)
I should clarify that the green wire was originally pigtailed and not connected to anything so I believe it's safe to assume this as neutral. My current assumption is the two blue wires are travellers (which I will test if the wire becomes hot after turning...
That makes sense.
Ive noticed on the other switch there is a clear copper ground wire. Is it possible for the ground wire to be at only one end of the three pole?
This is the concern. Ok, do what would be the correction needed for this? And why is it ‘working’?
Worth noting I did test the wires and only the bottom blue and black where ‘hot’ hence my assumption the top blue was the ground.
This works with this set up so the one most likely is the neutral wire, however I’m still concerned that something isn’t correct as there’s only one traveller wire connected.
Is it possible there’s only a need for a single traveller wire or is it more likely it’s missing a ground wire?
Trying to replace this existing 3 pole switch with a smart 3 pole switch, am I identifying these wires correctly? It appears there’s an expectation for fives wires including two traveller wires so is it likely the two blue are both travellers in which case am I missing a ground wire?
