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?

    Color is just for code. Just hook everything up like it was and wire nut your neutral pig tail from your smart switch to the neutral in the box. (The white wire that was capped off in your box).
