Installing AUBE econoswitch to replace an oddly wired single-pole switch?
I would like to do a single-pole installation of an AUBE econoswitch to replace a standard single-pole light switch that controls 3 fixtures on the exterior of my house.
I haven't had any issues with replacing switches in the past; however, this particular light switch is wired a bit differently than standard.
What is the proper way to install this to the line/load/neutral wires on the switch?
In the photo, the switch on the right controls the exterior lighting.

I could not tell for sure if in the photo you have two whites connected together. If not there is probably no neutral in the box.
Are you sure the switch requires a neutral?

The switch on the right either has two switch controlled hots and a feed or power in and power out and the single switch controlled hot.

Can you tell us how you made the connections to the new switch?
BTW, the white on the 3way switch is backwards. The loop should be clock-wise.
