    How to wire a Decora Combiniation 3 switch
    I am having a serious brain freeze right now and need some help.
    We have a new addition (kids play room) that I have installed two sets of can lights and a ceiling fan. One set of lights has its own run, the other set has its own run and the ceiling fan has its own run. So I have 3 sets of wires running to this Combination 3 switch (a switch with 3 toggles on it, not a 3 way switch). I also have the cable that will be supplying the power. So 4 sets of cable that I need to wire to a switch that has a pole for each toggle (switch) and a pole on the other side for power.
    Can anyone tell me how this is suppose to be wired?

    The whites all tie together and not to the switch, the hot goes to the side that connects to all three switches, then a wire from each set of lights and fan goes to each individual switch terminal.
