red on the top and the two black at the bottom of the regular switch.

On the auto sensing, there are two blacks, a white and a blue together.

Now I know that the auto sensor needs its own power, but not sure

sometimes the light switch at the far end words, sometimes it doesn't,
I seem to get it to work, but I can't figure out when the jumper is needed, from the instructions. . .

Please DM if you are willing / able to stop by Marsh bend for 5 minutes. . .

Non electrical guy, or posing electrical guy

If you still need help I can have a look at it for you. Let me know.

I can’t help but cheer you on. We did this and love it. We also installed one in the garage. We blocked off the second switch in the laundry room so we don’t override the occupancy switch. Good luck, I called Pikes electric and it took the electrician awhile to figure out the instructions. Hope that makes you feel better.
