I am setting up to install a White dimmer (VTM31-SN) in a 3-way configuration, though my question has nothing to do with the switch itself.
The existing circuit contains a dumb dimmer, and a dumb switch. When inspecting the existing wiring, the wall box containing the dimmer matched what I would expect to see (one wire bundle containing white + black + ground, the other containing white + red + black + ground). However, the second wall box, containing the switch, had 3 wire bundles. 1 traveler bundle (w + r + b + g), and 2x white + black + ground (one of which contains the hot wire).
Iām looking for guidance on whether I can follow either of the wiring guides (line/load same box, or line/load separate boxes), and if so which one. If no, am I out of luck on this circuit?
for additional context (if it helps), the 2x w+b+g bundles were effectively tied together on the pre-existing circuit (the black wires from both shared a common terminal on the switch)
