I've been googeling for an hour and have found conflicting information so I thought I'd post... 1. Can a single bathroom be supplied with only one 20 Amp circuit to power lights (overhead, and vanity), a single GFCI outlet, and an exhaust fan? Provided all wiring is 12 guage, and the lighting is upstream of the GFCI? 2. Can a garage have lighting and outlets on the same 20 Amp circuit? Provided all wiring is 12 guage, and on a gfci breaker? I understand it is not ideal to have lighting and outlets on the same circuit, but is it acceptable? I'd run more circuits but my panel is getting pretty full.

Hi there, I am looking to install one of the Belkin WeMo wifi light switches to control an already existing power outlet that works on a switch. The power outlet has lamps connected to it, so I am looking to use the WeMo switch to turn on the lights through the power outlet. I have a 2-gang box that contains (1) the switch to the power outlet (the switch is not in the picture; I have removed it), and (2) the switch to a ventilation fan. The wires running to number (1) are only black and black, while there are two wires, black and white, running to number (2). Also, separately in the box are three bundles of wires: black, white, and green. The WeMo switch has the four wires on the back of it: black, black, white, and green. I tried the following: Connected the two black WeMo wires into the two wires that came off of the old switch being replaced. Connected the WeMo white wire into the white bundle in the box. Connected the WeMo green wire into the green bundle in the box. The WeMo switch then had power to it, and was able to connect to the wifi. As soon as I turned the lights on though, the Arc Fault breaker for the condo would trip. Question: Although the white neutral wire was not tied into the switch I am replacing, is there a way to use it? The WeMo requires a neutral wire to keep power to the unit, so only connecting the black, black, and green was not an option. Thank you! Shaun Calgary, Alberta, Canada
