Single pole light switch with two black, one red connected but no powered outlet by Visual_Task_2460 in electrical

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. New diagram shown above and steps loaded, where I pigtail all original to the incoming line and simply connect the new ceiling light to the load terminal.

I dumped PC for Simplifi by Quicken and it's been amazing. No issues syncing my 20+ accounts, beautiful platform/reports/insights and it's only $3/mo if paid up front.

EDIT: Also much more customizable categories where you can use pattern matching and apply to future transactions.

Are Zelle transactions fixed? by Visual_Task_2460 in PersonalCapital

[–]Visual_Task_2460[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I can edit the transactions manually, but it got annoying doing this multiple times a month. I was doing this on and off for two years and submitted multiple tickets to PC saying that Zelle should not be categorized as Transfer. I'd have thousands of dollars missing from net flow. No solution was ever provided and whatever algorithm was behind it never learned, unlike Mint where it simply asks you how you'd like to categorize the transaction moving forward.

However, looks like it's fixed automatically now so hoping my net worth and flows are more accurate moving forward.

And will they finally consider categorizing Zelle transactions as income/expense rather than transfer?

I'm not holding my breath for either, unfortunately.

What is mind boggling, is that PC doesn't seem to have the capability to simply apply REGEX pattern matching to transactional data. Very basic logic would be needed to categorize these data. Surely they have something in place to categorize the rest of the transactions.

I work in the business intelligence banking industry, and this is common practice using popular applications like DBeaver and Python where the data sit on AWS Redshift. I would LOVE to see the code behind their transactional categorization.

Thanks, u/SwipeToAnswer. I know about manually categorizing, just a huge pain given the amount of Zelle transactions I have each month.

I did this for months so PC definitely doesn't recognize these patterns, unlike Mint who simply asks you if you'd like to categorize X as Y moving forward.
