I have an outlet installed in the garage with an empty space next to it for another outlet or switch..
I hooked up outside lights that go on auto sensor to the back of this outlet.
I now bought a basic in wall timer to attach the outside lights to in the empty space but it came with black white and a red wire. I am confused as to which wires to connect to the timer wires.
OK, I have black and white wires powering an outlet. I have black and white wires from outdoor lights connected directly to back of this outlet. The lights worked on auto light sensor. No problem so far. I bought an in-wall timer. This timer has a black and white and a red wire. Im still a little confused as to how to wire the timer..OK,
