Dumb switch for 3 or 4 way setups?

[Eric_Inovelli]

Great question and thanks @Automate for the help!

@WylieGraham

thanks for the quick reply! couple more questions then - is that the only solution? i’d prefer not to be spending $15-20 per switch to replace something that costs $3-5.

Yeah, unfortunately if you want this type of switch (one where it’s not up or down), these are the only options available right now.

@WylieGraham

if there is a requirement for an aux/add-on switch, are there any brand restrictions or do they all work the same? do they have any particular wiring requirements that are different than the dumb switches?

The ones we’ve tested are GE and HomeSeer. In theory the Honeywell’s should work as they are also manufactured by Jasco (who licenses GE and Honeywell), but we haven’t specifically tested them.

As for the wiring diagrams, here are the pics from the Wiring PDF specifically for aux switches:
