Hi, I have a motion sensor switch in my new bathroom. *It's all up to code

When I went to replace the motion sensor switch I was surprised to find 4
wires
(not 3) going to the switch: black (hot), white (neutral), ground and
something
labeled "load". *My dimmer switch only has connections for the first three

What do I do with the wire labeled "load"? *BTW, this is the only switch

You typically don't need a neutral for the dimmer (or standard toggle)
switch. You'll only have line, load, and maybe ground on your new
device. The neutral typically just gets spliced through from line to
load cables. The motion sensor apparently drew enough power that the
designers included the neutral connection.
