The information says can use in multiple locations for 3-way wiring, but an earlier answer said this can be used with a 4-way wire...is that correct?

I'm not sure. I'd check lutrons website. I've always found their wedsite very helpful. Or call customer service!

I believe you can use it in a 4 way configuration, you just need to buy one additional Maestro Remote Dimmer switch.

I've been able to wire it with four way as well. One master, two secondary dimmers

Depends on what your aiming for. 3 way switches are a pain, and this will add sone interesting complexity. This is just a simple on off, think of it as a light switch that is light sensitive. Your wiring would have to be complex to compensate.

The documentation for this switch describes as "Single Pole" which in the U.S. usually means Single Throw in that it can only be turned on or off from one location. It does not specifically say that but it is highly likely to be single throw and not compatible with 3-way switching. http://www.honeywellstore.com/store/images/pdf/rpls740b-rpls741b-honeywell-econoswitch-7-day-solar-programmable-light-switch-timer-manual.pdf

I didn't use the unit in that way so I couldn't say... what I can tell you is I like the one I got.works great and is a good built 4-way unit... works for me... Hope maybe this helps...

If you want to create a 3 way for the garage it should work but not on an existing 3 way.e.g. if you wanted a switch in the house to operate a single pole switch in the garage that would work as that is the purpose of this switch. Fluorescent fixtures I am not sure about. Mine (older model) works the kitchen ceiling fixture which has 4 compact fluorescent bulb plus a ceiling fan.

Yes, if you're talking about the red white yellow green blue tipped cords. For me, I could not mix and match the 3-way with the 5-way. Stick with one type or the other.

You can use it in a three way socket, but it will not work as a three way bulb. It will only light at it's full light level.

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.

My Honeywell must be a bit older since my 3-way wire is also yellow. If it is a later build, then that wire goes to the "red traveller wire" from the other switch in a 3-way hookup..

You could, but it would really be excessive. If you happen to have 4 ga wire run already from a previous installation, you can certainly use it, and there would be no harm in using it, but it is definitely more than is necessary.

This will not work on a three way circuit. It is a Single Pole Single Throw (SPST)-type light switch only. I don't know if anyone makes a programmable 3 way circuit. I think you could hook it up to work on a 3-way circuit but I don't know if the circuit would remain 3-way (essentially you are making your system into a one-way). Hope this helps

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.

The answer is probably yes. You would use one master and 5 slave (auxiliary) switches to do this. You would need 3-conductor plus ground cable between all the switches so you can keep the ground, neutral, and traveler in parallel with the master and one more black wire (load or hot) if needed, to get the load or hot from one switch box to another so the master switch has both the load and hot black wires attached to it. A 3-way or 4-way has the black load wire at one end and the black hot wire at the other; the 4-way switch (or multiples in a 6-way setup) wouldn't have the load or hot wire in that box - it would usually have a black, red, and ground going each direction to another 3-way and/or 4-way switch. I think the instructions show a 4-way setup.

You can use this switch in an installation with only 2 wires. I have used a few of these devices over many years. While they are very handy, to me they seem to be fragile and sometimes die during/after a storm. I like them because they work in a normal wall box.Allen

thanks for your asking. Sorry that this type can not be spliced into a three way connector. You can tell us more detailes about your demand, we are glad to offer you some other solution. tks.

It says 3 way but when we used one, it didn't work. I tried 2 different 3-way bulbs.

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.
