I'm finally starting to replace my old X10 hardware. I decided to start with the vanity. It's eight bulbs total, four on each side of the mirror. So, I bought two Aeon Labs DSC27103-ZWUS,White, US,AL001 Aeotec Z-Wave Micro Dimmer because I assumed I'd need one on each side. Before placing the order, I had opened the fixture up long enough to take a look at the wires. At a glance, it appeared straightforward.
Now that I have them in hand, I'm stuck. I don't see a neutral. From my other thread on here, I felt pretty sure that there would be a neutral at the fixture. But, I don't see it. I see a three-conductor cable with white, black, plus the ground come in on one side. On the other side, I see a the same kind of three-conductor come in, and then go back out. I don't see a neutral.
A coupla pictures Vanity1 and Vanity2. They're big, so I'll just link to them. In Vanity1, what looks like it might be an extra black wire is just a bit of the sheath. I took a few other angles, but these seemed to capture pretty much everything.
Is there someplace else I should be looking for the neutral? Did they really not bring a neutral to the fixture? Am I misunderstanding what I'm looking at?
This house is in Richardson, TX (suburb of Dallas) and was built in 1973. Only one owner, so none of the electrical has been updated.
Thanks,
Drake
