Hi all

I've recently moved into our new house and i'm puzzled at what this switch is in the porch.

The switch puts on the porch light and an exterior light, but i not sure what that is on the left under the slider.

I thought it was a light sensor but it does nothing.

please see attached photo.

Thanks

Yammy

I would say if you put in on with the moon showing the light will come at night only or if you put it on with the sun symbol then you can use the light in the day if it does neither then it may be faulty or not connected up correctly

replacing a dimmer light switch with a regular one
Yes one wire nut will grab a wire but I will suggest an orange one because the wire is 14 gage wire for lighting.

Wiring a new 2 gang switch from a single two way switch.
"It works" and "it's safe" are not necessarily the same thing. With DIY work, they are often far from the same thing.
