It is automation of the home, housework or household activity.

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security.

I recently purchased a few Meross 3-way switches which require a neutral wire.

I’ve included a picture of one of my 3-way switch boxes. I’ve labeled the wires with how they were attached to the previous dumb switch.

This 3 way is powering an outlet, if that makes a difference. House built in the early 80s.

I can figure out the common/t1/t2. But I’m unsure what to use as the neutral, can I just hook it to the two black wires, or the one white that is capped off and seemingly doing nothing?
