Hi All,
My upstairs lights can currently be controlled by a switch downstairs and upstairs. I want to connect the downstairs wires so that only the upstairs switch can control the upstairs light.
By my reckoning, with the downstairs switch I want to connect the red wires together (Com & L2) and cap off the black wire in L1.
With the upstairs switch to have this switch the upstairs lights, would I then need to leave COM in and independently cap 1 wire from L1 and one wire from L2?
There is also a black wire on lower conduit cable 2 in the the upstairs switch box (circled in red). Should I cap that off?
Thanks!
