Can someone tell me how to split this wiring up so that I can use 2 wyze switches? One for my light and one for the fan.
Any help would be great!

Welcome to the Forum, @gray186! 
Part of my standard disclaimer is that I am not an electrician, but I do enjoy DIY problems and feel comfortable changing out things like outlets and plugs and doing my own circuit testing in order to understand a wiring layout.
Having said that, I’m not sure what I’m seeing in your drawing, so I’ll ask some follow-up questions that will hopefully be helpful to others in the community who want to assist:
- What are the elements in the drawing that you haven’t labeled so far? I take it you’ve used green marker for green (ground) wires, and I’m unsure of what’s happening with the rest. I would imagine that you’ve used black for “line” and red for “load”, but I don’t want to make too many assumptions.
- If this is a drawing of the existing setup (pre-Wyze Switch), then what parts are the switches and what are the actual devices you’re trying to control? I think I’m seeing lines representing wires between switches and devices, but I don’t see anything that looks like it’s coming from (or returning to) a power source, so the diagram seems incomplete to my understanding.
- Are you trying to put two Wyze Switches into a 2-gang box?
- Is this for a ceiling fan with separate fan and light switches?
- Are these single-pole switches that you’re replacing?
Along with follow-up answers, some additional photos might be helpful, such as what you’re trying to power and how the current switches are connected. As a new Forum member, you’re limited to one photo per post initially, but you can get over that hump pretty quickly by spending a little time participating here.
This is a drawing of my existing switch box. I have two switches for the light and fan.
The colors are representing the wire colors coming into the current box and connecting the two single pole switches. The only odd color is the thin black pen which represents the white wires.
I am trying to replace both switches with wyze switches so that one will control my light and one will controll the fan. This is a ceiling fan with light that has 2 switches.
I hope this helps clarify.
What I have labeled as fan and light are the switches.
Oh, okay, so the boxes at the top of the drawing represent the insulation sheath, and the colored lines coming out of that are the individual wires coming out of each jacket? I think I understand that much so far.
So the top box on the left is the “line” side, and the top box on the right is the “load” side?
That is what I am assuming.
Do you have a way to test? If you don’t have a multimeter, then even a non-contact voltage tester (like the kind that looks like a fat pen with a funky plastic tip) can help you to identify what’s “hot” in a box, and I’m guessing it’s the black wire coming in from the top left, but I don’t like making assumptions about this stuff if I can avoid it, particularly since Wyze Switch has terminals specifically labeled for “Line” and “Load”, so I think the Switch probably expects to see the circuit from a certain direction.
Yes the left side, main wire set, is the hot side.
Okay, this is what I think you have:
- Ground from LINE side
- Ground from LOAD side
- Ground to Fan switch
- Ground from Fan switch to Light switch
- Live wire from LINE side
- Live wire to LOAD side (Fan)
- Live wire from Fan switch to Light switch
- Live wire to LOAD side (Light)
- I'm not sure why this is connected to anything if you're using individual single-pole switches to one fan and one light fixture. I don't know what it's supposed to be doing, but if it's connected and your current setup is working as expected, then maybe leave it connected after the installation.
- Live wire continuing to LOAD side (Light)
- Neutral wire LINE side
- Neutral wire LOAD side
Based on that, this is how I’d try wiring the Wyze Switches:

Thank you!!!
This is what I had drawn out earlier and thought it was right, but wanted someone with more knowledge to confirm it. I’m going to try it tomorrow. I appreciate the help!

You’re welcome! I hope it’s the right answer. Please post an update after you’ve had a chance to attempt the wiring.
I see now that I should’ve labeled the switches as “Fan” and “Light” in the diagram I made, but I imagine you probably figured it out from the arrangement in the image (following your original as a pattern). How’d the wiring work out?
