My one dog is getting old and cannot see well at night. I put up spot lights and hooked them to an all weather switch. When it gets cold {freezing here in CT} the switch will not turn on. It moves freely but does not turn the lights on. Sometimes they will flicker. How can I fix this situation? I don't want to have to chase her around the backyard with a flashlight. When I put this all together in the fall it worked fine and as long as it is not below freezing it works. Thanks, Doug

We have been living in this house since we got it built 4 years ago. A week ago on a very windy evening, the power went out in the whole area of the city and we were without power most of the night. The following morning, the power was back but some of the circuit breakers had tripped so my son reset them. That evening, I noticed the wifi linked light switch at the front entrance was without power. It controls the porch lights outside. That switch is one of three switches behind a 3-switch cover. It is on the far left. [B]The middle one is one of 4-way switch for the hallway[/B]. The one on the right controls the ceiling light at the front entrance. I had installed the Wifi linked switch so that I can set schedule for On/Off times since we leave the lights on overnight. I adjust time On/Off times every other week trailing the sunset/sunrise times. Therefore, it was one of my favorite mods I did when I first moved into the house. It has been working great for the last 4 years. I had a spare Wifi switch just like it. I turned the circuit breaker #19(CAFI) to Off position. And I uninstalled the wifi light switch that went bad and I installed the spare wife switch. I did not undo or re-do any of the wires on the other two switches. When I turned the circuit breaker back on, the Wifi switch was working fine. I was happy. Then at the end of the[B] hallway[/B] to the back of the house, motion sensing light switch stopped working. At first it was making clinking noise as it detected motion but the light was not coming on. This switch is on breaker #27(CAFI). I thought might be a blown lightbulb but when I tested the bulb by installing it in the bathroom and it was functioning. Soon the motion sensing switch stopped making clicking noise - it was either dead or lost power. But the other light switch was working in the adjacent bathroom. Then that bathroom light went out also. I went to the main breaker board in the garage and noticed breaker #27 had tripped. I tried to reset it by pushing it to off and pushing it back to on. I could not make it click to On. The red color kept showing up in the window on the breaker. The power outlets connected to #27 were also dead. I went to Home Depot and bought a new circuit breaker that was identical to the broken one. I installed it. And when I turned on #27 again, the switches were still not working. I thought the motion sensing switch was blown and it was causing it. I went to Home Depot again and bought a new motion sensing switch designed for 3 way. I turned off #27 and installed the motion sensing switch. I turned #27 back on. Then suddenly, I heard 'CLICK'. I went to the garage and #27 had tripped again. And it was blown again. The adjacent bathroom does not have GFCI and none of the outlets in the hallway has GFCI. I went back to Home Depot and bought a new circuit breaker CAFI and came back home and put it on the board. This time it stays on, but no light or outlet (controlled by #27 breaker) has power. It has been a long day and I am done for now. The hallway and the adjacent bathroom is dark but the rest of the house is bright. I want to bypass 3 out of 4 hallway light switches. I want just the motion sensing switch to control the hallway light. How would I do that? Thank you.
