Could be that you blew the breaker on one of the two phases coming to your house.

These breakers are often in a separate box from the normal breakers.

I actually shut off the main breaker because I’m paranoid:)

Is it possible then that is just never re-engaged? Maybe it has nothing to do with the dimmer.

I’m not sure. I did turn it off twice and restarted as well as flipped each breaker. I think it’s either a wire I disconnected or possibly I didn’t connect the hot wire.

Sorry, maybe I jumped to conclusions. Is half your house dark now? Or just the handful of lights near that switch?

So we have one bedroom, a laundry room, bathroom and then another bedroom all in a row on one side of our home. The one bedroom where we installed the regular flip switch works fine. The next three rooms, which would be bathroom, laundry room and this room with the dimmer are all without lights.
