OK,

That seems to have worked, no smoke, no flames and the damn switch responded
to an Off command. Hallelujah!

Now, if I wire the downstream load (receptacle + 3rd light) to the live side
of the 6287, will this bypass the middle 6287 for the downstream receptacle?
I can then put a third 6287 on the end light, which will allow me to put
more than 5 amps on the receptacle?

TIA.
