Load has constant power

Sure, I was looking for clarification whether the red switches and red dimmers gen2 should behave the same regarding constant load on a 3-way.

I’m trying to get my LZW31-SN dimmer to act in a 3-way like the other LZW30-SN switches currently working. The smart switch is in the line box and it’s carrying constant power to the load box containing a ge dummy. Parameters 21(1), 22(2), 52(0).

This is important in the 3-way dimmer scenario because the smart dimmer is in the same line box as above, but it needs to carry power to a different load box - which contains a different ge dummy for the dimmer 3-way. Plus, in that load box, there another 2 dimmers that need a hot/line. Also, I’m not using smart bulbs, just LED can lights. So the constant power is only for the box, not smart bulbs.

A bit confusing but it sounds like you are trying to maintain a normal three-way and send a constant hot downstream for other devices. You’re not going to be able to do both on the same 3-wire.

If I understood your scenario correctly, the best thing that you can do is swap out the dumb switch for another Inovelli. You would then send a hot and neutral from the current box where the dimmer is to the other box. Now you have a constant hot in the box with the dumb switch, which is what I think you are trying to accomplish.

You can use that hot/neutral for anything downstream as well as to power the second dimmer. Then associate the two switches with each other so that they both can control the load.

Can you draw a diagram of what you’re trying to do?
