Would it be difficult to go back to regular 3 way non Z Wave dimming switches?

No not that I can think of, With my experience I had a hard time with this unit and ended up only wiring one switch and putting the other one on remote

It would not be difficult, the primary switch would wire the same way the secondary you would have to take black wires to the switch and do away with the neutral

While I have not used these with a dimmer switch, I see no reason why not. In effect the converter is just a conductor between the two different types of connectors.

It will not work with a standard 3 way switch. You need to replace each 3-way with one of these. I used one of these and a 2334 Keypad dimmer switch. Either one can control the load, and the two devices are linked together. Be sure you have a neutral wire at each switch location. If it does not exist you should be able to use the existing 3 conductor cable to provide this.

Yes, I used these to replace a few non-switched units. When you install them you will leave the switch that is on the fixture on, and use your light switch as normal.

Yes, I have the same situation. You can leave the switch on the light on and control it from inside, or you leave the inside switch on and control it at the light. It WON'T work like a 3-way.

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 have one, but have seen no way to do it myself. But at least it doesn't take much reach to hit switches I, II and III. :)

Yes, however, you must replace both switches in the 3 way circuit with insteon switches. I do not know if they have to be identical insteon switched. I don't think so.

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

Hi Tom, That's actually my current setup. I used to have 1 dimmer and 2-regular non-dimmer switches and I replaced one of the non-dimmer switches with Honeywell timer switch. As long as each switches are independent to each other, it should not be an issue. Btw, I'm not a professional electrician so this response is just based on my current home setup. - Joel

I would say a 2-way switch IS a "regular" dimmer switch..versus a 3-way that is used when you control the same device from either of two switch locations. I use my Z-wave 2-way switch in conjunction with my Nexia app to remotely turn on:off or dim a light at home. It works great!...hope this helps.

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

No. You should not install a dimmer switch on the z-wave dimmer (dimmer on dimmer). Instead install a regular toggle switch or a momentary (push button) switch to operate the dimmer.

Part 1 of your question: I do not know what you mean by 4-way switch, and therefore cannot say if it would work. Part 2: I have used it to replace two (non-dimming) 3-way switches, and it works great. I.E. I can turn on, turn off and dim the incandescent chandelier at either end.

No. The old three way bulbs had two filaments in them and multiple contacts on the bottom of the bulb. The switch in the lamp powered one filament, then the other, then both. What they mean by dimmable here is you can control he brightness with a 'slider' light switch that allows you to continuously vary the light's brightness.

The package came with a three level dimmer control that I did not need - my interest was only in the transformer. I would think that this three level dimmer could be used as a substitute ; the compatibility of the connector would be the only matter to investigate,

No. The dimmer switch would need to be on a seperate circuit with the lights, different than the fan motor.
