Have a wiring question. Replacing some light switches around the house and the light switch on the right controls both a fan and a light. Want to break that one out into a combination device with two single pole switches on it (Like This) but i'm a little confused by whats going on in this box. There are 4 wires coming in (each with a black, white and ground wire). 2 of the black wires go straight to the switches (circled in red) and 2 of the black wires go into a wire connector (circled in blue) which has two additional black wires coming out to connect to the switches (can't say i understand why the two black wires coming from the wall don't go directly to the switches but i'm sure there is a reason). 4 of the white wires go into a wire connector which is standard.I assume 1 wire is coming from the breaker, 1 is coming from light one, 1 is coming from light two and 1 is coming from the fan. How would i wire this? Identify the hot coming from the breaker and split that into two, one going to each "device" (1 standard light switch and one device with two switches on it)? Any ideas or am i missing something?https://ift.tt/2B3qmJY via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2QJofox
