Model: HS200  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Wired up the HS 200 for my 3 outdoor lights that are all controlled by 1 single pole switch.  All the wires for the HS 200 were properly connected to the circuit and the HS 200 could be linked etc.  But the HS 200 switch would only turn on and off one of the 3 lights controlled by the switch. Have power to all the black wires as expected.

Reinstalled old single pole switch and it works all the lights just like it did before.  

Any idea as to what the problem is?

Problem solved - had to locate the ganged neutral and connect the HS 200 neutral to it - then connect the power to one black side of the HS 200 and the other 2 black leads to the other black side of the HS 200. Thanks for your interest

@golfrowood No picture.

If you look at the line just above the text box while responding, there is a icon of a mountan with a dot in the upper left corner.

Click on that and attach the .jpg
