KS230: blinking red, correctly wired
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I purchased a KS230 kit and wired it according to the instructions (photos attached). When I turn the power back on, the main blinks red that the travelers are reversed. But, you can clearly see this is not the case. I've tried using the restart and reset buttons. Nothing works. The lights do not come on at all.
Any suggestions?

Main KS230 Blinking Red rapidly indicates there could be something wrong with the wiring in the wall box, you could try some suggestions here:
1. Identify the Line/ Load/ Traveler wires in the wall boxes, as set up video or APP instructions (as the picture below)
