How does a 4 way switch work?

I wish I could tell you but I haven't plugged my beautiful lamp in yet. I dropped the large shade trying to put it on and broke it in a million pieces. I can't get a new one from the seller until sometime around the middle of April.

Should say 4 position switch. 1) Both lights on, 2) top light only, 3) lower light only, 4) off.

It has one input and four outputs If it had four inputs and one output it would be called a switch. Amazone sells switches also.

This switch is just a 2 position - On & Off. A 3-way bulb requires a different type switch.You could use this to turn power on to a lamp, and then use the lamp switch to select the 3-way brightness level

Got to assume you are talking about the single socket (and you have blue in it) and whites in one or more of the four sockets controlled by the #2 switch (from the left). I have found that switch #1 (from the left) must be on before the #2 switch will turn on the four sockets. You can turn off the four sockets independently but cannot turn them on unless the #1 switch is on. Hope this helps.

This device appears to be a simple, 3 way, passive switch containing no active electronic components. As such, it can conduct signals both ways. A signal source plugged into the output port should be switched to one of the three matching input ports (yellow to yellow, red to red or white to white) depending only on switch position.

Three way switch.....It has to be held in position for up or down. You release it when you get to desired position

I don't believe it will work on a three way switch. It actually turns a standard switch into a three way system using the radio controlled remote switch. The wording on the description & instructions is confusing & a little misleading.

Study http://www.insteon.com/pdf/2466S.pdf for more details. However, this promotes using only Insteon switches. One could use an Insteon switch on only one end of a 3-way or a 3-way plus 4-way combination.

Not really sure as it is made for 2 inputs and 1 output each, not the other way around.Daisy chaining them to another switcher could do 4 inputs and 2 outputs, if that's what you mean..

The switch is manufactured to work in both a 2-way and 3-way circuit. In 3-way it requires a common wire (generally the black wire) between the two switches and the light involved in the circuit. User should have a black, red and white wire to work with when wiring this switch in a 3-way application.

There is one "hot" wire and two switched wires - 1 and 2. As you turn the switch, the sequence is OFF, 1, 2, both 1and 2, and then back to OFF. Don't know what you have in mind, but this is the way the switch works.

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.

Its two channels, so each button controls a different switch (2 buttons). When you push the button it comes on and stays on till pushed again. Each are totally independent of one another

Yes this will work with a 4 switch plate. It works with single, 3 way, and 4 way circuits.

It is an open and close switch. It's just cutting the circuit of whatever you're putting it in between.

There are only 3 channels, no 4th. It can be set up to do several things, but not tied to a 3 position switch. I would suggest you google and download the manual, as it will explain the limitations better.

Sorry, Eric, but I don't know the answer to your question. I wired my unit to a 2-way switch.
