While the neutral and the ground are bonded in the panel, they are not the same. A ground should never be carrying any voltage.

Here's the directions....I have (well..."had", now I have the black wires hooked up, the other wires are just sitting there disconnected until I...er..."we"...figure this out) it hooked up like in the lower picture 3B. In my case as in the picture I put the bare ground wires together along with the white wire from the new switch. I don't have the red wire connected to anything (you can see it capped off and not connected in the second picture in the first post)
So neutral and ground on the switch were connected to ground in the wall.
Does this change anything? Does that mean I connected voltage to my ground in the house?
