  1. Frequently Asked Questions

What if you don’t have a dedicated neutral to the load? What do I do to monitor load?

Lightcloud allows you to provide an estimated Watts Per Fixture rather than active monitoring of actual load. So if you can’t rewire and pull a dedicated neutral per circuit to the load, then the estimated Watts Per Fixture is the next best solution for load monitoring.
