What voltage range does the livewire adapter work with?
The livewire adapter works with 120V (normal socket voltage for US homes)
Which wire to connect to red alligator clips on? Hot or neutral ?
It doesn't matter on alternating current, as "hot" goes from positive to negative and back 60 times per second. Just be sure you have a neutral, not all switch boxes do. The wires connected to the terminals on the switch should both be "hot".
