I have a switch i want to turn into a 3 way and another switch across from the room that isn't being used. will this work without 3 way wiring?

Not by themselves without a 3 way wire. This switch is used to replace existing 3 way wiring setup. However if you use a hub like SmartThings you can using apps and just standard Zwave switches.http://community.smartthings.com/t/have-one-light-switch-trigger-another-light/5294

Greetings Stephanie: This is a single pole switch. It will not work in a 3-way switched circuit. Please note that this switch requires hot, load, and neutral connections. The neutral is required to run the clock motor.

Hi Eric, The particular switches I ordered are not 3 way switches although you can order Heath Zenith switches specificately that are 3 way. They come in sets of 2 switches model # WC-6023 made in white or ivory with remote control. The remote works pretty good as long as you run the antenna wire neatly below the light switch cover. Very good product. Good luck

Yes. That is exactly how I installed it in my kitchen. Basically just replaced one 3 way with this dimmer and left the other 3 way in place.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

It does not require neutral, but if you want to use a "Matching" switch (one with LEDs on it) in a three-way/four-way installation, you must have a neutral wire. Otherwise, you can use a "Companion" switch (no LEDs) and not need the neutral wire for three-way/four-way.

I put in a 4 function switch but only had 3 wires. I left one wire unconnected. [My contractor left my 3 way Nutone switch in place when he replaced the Nutone fixture with Panasonic, and the Panasonic worked for a year (without being able to turn on the night light). When the light switch malfunctioned, I replaced it with the 4 wire switch.]

I believe you can if you install an identical SwitchLinc in the other location as well. I've thought about doing this, but I'm afraid the 3 way wiring is a little advanced for me. Not to mention that you need to use twice the number of SwitchLincs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twEvh3Vua8U

Sonja, I don't think it's designed to work with a 3-way circuit. You would have to place it electrically right between the fan and the two switches. Basically, when it was off, the 3-way switches would appear not to work. When it was on, one of the 3-way switches would have to be on. It can't just replace one of the three way switches. I'm not an electrician (but worked with electronics all my life), so anything I've just told you is my best guess. I would try contacting Panasonic with an email to see if anyone makes what you're looking for, or if this switch could possibly work.

Yes and no, you can set up up as a 3 or more way switch but you need a insteon switch or keypad at each location.You can not use the insteon switch with a standard switch in a 3 way configuration.

Im pretty sure you can.. I have a 4 way splitter with on/off switches to control my lights.

The short answer is no. Three way switches need three wires (black, white, and red) connecting the two switches. Consult a book on general house wiring for details. The GE switch can be wired to a single light for dimming.

I believe you would need a switch that works on a four way system. This one works on three way which means two switches. Might be tough to find except at a place that sells to contractors.

I installed the timer switch I bought for my daughter in her home. I know it does not require a neutral wire. I really believe the documentation that came with it showed it could be used in a 3-way arrangement but I left that with her so I can't refer to it as to how that would be done. In her situation it just replaced a single-pole switch.

It work as a basic 3 way switch, by the way you can use one but you will not going to have middle position. Auto option I guess refereed to the optional timer that you can install if you have one.

Yes, but mine is not 3 way then. I get light on the second twist of the switch.

You require a three-pole switch. If it doesn't say "three-pole" it won't work for your use.
