    Replacing Leviton switch with a Swylite switch
    I am trying to replace a leviton switch with a swylite switch. It is in a three switch box. The two other switches are 3-way switches. When I replace it one of the three ways doesn't work. What am I doing wrong or any suggestions?

    Best for you to provide the model number of the Swylite switch you have, and what type of Leviton switch you are replacing with the Swylite unit.

    The Sywlite Switch Model # LST200+ dual event digital wall switch timer. I don't have the model # for the leviton switch. On the switch it says 15 Amp, 120/277 Volt. AC. I think it is a single pole switch. It had three wires attached to it and the ground. One was screwed to the side and the other two were Quickwire Push-In. Again the switch only has three screws, one being the ground and it has the push in spots. Thanks

    A single pole switch will have "ON" and "OFF" stamped on the handle.

    If you connected in this switch and had problems with other switches, you probably got the line confused.

    In your last post seems you describe a single pole, but still not sure. Is On and Off on the handle? Are there two black or red wires plus the bare or green ground?

    Here are the wiring instructions:

    If you can't follow these diagrams, explain how you have it connected.
