Hey everyone! I'm trying to set up a diva smart dimmer with a pico remote following a video tutorial I found. In the video, at timestamps 1:14 and 1:34, they show how to pigtail some wires together. That got me wondering—doesn't that pose a fire hazard? I know a bit about how a 3-way switch works, but could someone break it down for me in simpler terms? Also, is this wiring method safe? Thanks a bunch for your help!

No worries, it's not a fire hazard to connect wires with a wire nut; that's exactly why they're designed! They ensure a safe connection by keeping wires secure and insulated. Pigtailing is a common practice and as long as you're using the right materials, it's perfectly fine!
Oh, that makes sense! So even if I'm joining two hot wires, it won't be a problem with the right setup? Thanks for clarifying!
