Yeah one of them was, seems like it’s used as one of the travellers. As I commented above I’ll just get an electrician to come in. Clearly this one’s too wonky for my diy skills.

Question about wiring 3-way switch (alien.top)

I recently purchased a few Meross 3-way switches which require a neutral wire.

I’ve included a picture of one of my 3-way switch boxes. I’ve labeled the wires with how they were attached to the previous dumb switch.

This 3 way is powering an outlet, if that makes a difference. House built in the early 80s.

I can figure out the common/t1/t2. But I’m unsure what to use as the neutral, can I just hook it to the two black wires, or the one white that is capped off and seemingly doing nothing?
