Can this dimmer be installed for one (1) way switch as well as 3 way switch?

On the web info for this dimmer it states: Can be used in single pole or 3-way installations. So, yes, it can be used in a single pole installation according to the info.

It can be used as a 1-way switch or a 3-way switch depending on how you wire it.

It will replace any standard wall mounted light switch, or any standard dimmer switch for incandescent bulbs. I don't see why you would connect a 3-way bulb to a dimmer switch, since you already have 3 levels of light adjustment. Would it work? I guess.

I purchased for the same reason, but I was under the assumption that both switches were dimmer switches -- they're not! One is a dimmer switch and one is a 3-stage switch meant for a ceiling fan. I ended up not installing it, as I needed side-by-side dimmer switches that would work with low-voltage LED bulbs.

No, packaging reports one way. For three way you normally need double pole switches or use a relay system like x10 compatible switches (I've used x10 in my garage for remote control and 3 "switches"). This devices is a single pole device (one way). On or off.

Yes I would install two Dimmers at the "ends" and leave the center 4way switch - a 4way sw has 4 terminals and will be easy to spot out of the three locations - this way the dimmed power is only passing thru the 4way not affecting the dimmed power - anyway I haven't seen 4way dimmers so it is likely your only option ..from an electrician .. also 16watt x 9 = 144watts you are just under the 150watt limit of these switches - and higher bulb and it will get too hot and burn itself out (I never tried overloading this particular switch but have burned out other dimmers at overcapacity)

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

Yes, it can. I have installed this switch on one wall, and another standard 3-way switch on another wall, and both switches will operate the central light independently. The dimmer works to dim the center light, and it is always operational. Del Kirschner

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.

If you have a 3 way switch .. two wall switches that will operate one light ... you must replace it with a three way switch. this kit is not two identical switches it's a master and remote setup.

You bought a set, an electrician installed it, and now you want to go back to regular 3 way switches? Why? You essentially have the same functionality as regular 3 way dimming switches anyway.

Yes it will work inplace of a 3 way switch. If two dimmers are beside each other in a box you will have to break the tabs on the side of the dimmer. This will reduce the wattage rating of the dimmer. If you break one side it reduces by 100 watts. Two sides of tabs removed is 200 watts less.

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

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.

The key to the puzzle is in the light fixture socket. This device works AOK with a single setting (on/off) socket. This device will harmlessly convert the three way bulb to one way (low light) operation. The dimmer switch would then work on the low light only. Will it work full feature with a three way bulb - no.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

Yes. I was able to install one of these dimmer switches next to a single pole switch in a double gang box. The dimmer controls 12 LED lights in my livingroom and is next to a switch for a ceiling fan. I am very happy with how well this dimmer performs.

It should as it is a 3 to 1 switch. Unfortunately I don't have a way to test that configuration.

Installs in place of a standard light switch, not 3 way where two switches control the same set of lights. It is wireless to turn on and off and dim if you have a Z-Wave controller. It replaces your existing switch and must be wired in to work.
