Switchlinc and GFCI

[FaderJockey]

Forgive me if this has been posted before, a search didn't turn anything up..
 
I'm trying to replace the standard on/off switch controlling my pool light with a non-dim Switchlinc.
 
The switch is currently downstream of a GFCI outlet in the control box.
 
With the Switchlinc in place, the GFCI trips the instant I turn the breaker back on.
 
I've replaced the GFCI with a new one, same issue.
 
I've wired the Switchlinc without the GFCI and it works fine (Yeah, I know.. it was only for troubleshooting purposes..).
 
Is there something about the Switchlincs that makes them incompatible in a GFCI circuit?

Does that one have a neutral?

I'd just contact the manufacturer - they'd know.

I know that this is obvious but I would double check the wiring of the switch against the instructions.

As Work2Play was eluding to, if the switchlinc doesn't have a neutral then its completing the circuit using the ground.  That's going to create an imbalance in the hot-neutral and will trip the GFCI.  Get a switch with a neutral connection or put the switch in front of the GFCI.

Wired correctly, switch has a neutral.
