I have a 3-way switch that I would like to convert to a single pole switch so I can install a smart switch.
Switch 1 is never used and I would like to cover it up with a wall plate so it can’t be used. Switch 2 is the switch where I would like to install a single pole smart switch. It is beside a second switch (switch 3) that controls a different light. I have labeled the switches in the pictures below.
Switch 1 has 3 wires (red, white, black)
Switch 2 has a red and white wire and a black wire that also goes to switch 3
I didn’t take any pictures of switch 3 because that switch controls a different light and I don't want to change that.
I did not draw the neutral wires or the ground wires in my diagram as those are straight forward. I just need to know which wires connect to the two black live wires when I install the the smart switch.
Can anyone give detailed instructions on what I need to do? Thanks.
