I want to use this as a 3 way switch where I can't run wiring for second switch will it work for that ?

Yes. I had a switch that was not accessible from the entrance to the room - so I installed the Leviton anywhere switch and now the lights can be turned on and/or off from either switch.

Yes, I bought 2 of them and thats what I used them for. just a note only 2 frequencies so only able to use 2 in close location. Only problem is can't use florescent lights, not sure about new led lights. Also the switch button needs getting use to. Not just off on. depends on how long and hard you push switch, sometimes it will go on or off but also it has dimer built in, and pushing on/off will set dimer to working. Just have to watch light. when operating. I would buy it again. I am very happy with it.

Exactly what it's designed for. I bought a house that had only 1 switch for the hallway light, at the end of the hallway by the bedroom. I added this switch at the other end of the hallway and now can turn on the light before entering the dark hallway on my way to bed. There are two switches in the kit--the new remote and the master that replaces the existing switch. They communicate via radio. Took about 20 minutes. Very happy with the product.

That's the idea but this product is terrible. I installed as directed wanting to span an open 8ftarea and it would only occasionally work. When it did, the lights would flicker. Read the other reviews, it's really bad

Replace the hard wired switch with the switch that has the receiver. Then place your wireless switch within 50' of the other and you should be fine. Mine works great.

To hook up a 3 way Switch you need a common carrier using 14/3 NMD wire. On the Dimmers they are meant for single hook ups. There is only A black and red wire coming out of the Dimmer with a green ground wire. Don't take a chance trying as you could blow the Dimmer completely. If you have a friend that is an Electrician I am sure that he will tell you the same thing as I just did. I am a Licensed Electrician here in Canada so it cannot be used in a three way application. Sorry Buddy.

Be very aware of your light bulb type before purchasing. I cannot say if it will do what you want. We use CFL (compact florescent) bulbs and those will not work at all with this switch. As another answer said, the LED bulbs might, but unless the description has changed nothing is mentioned online even about CFL bulbs, though it does appear in the very tiny print on the packaging once you receive it. Good luck though.

I bought an extra transmitter, so I have the receiver (installed in the Wall), plus two transmitters. They all seem to work together. However I had to buy a whole second switch set--I could not find any where to buy just a transmitter.

I don't think this will work for you. There is only one control switch, so I can't see it working for you

Short answer is no. However find a 3 way switch on that circuit and you can get it to work.

Yes; that is how I am using this in two different rooms. And that should be the only 3way setup. 2 dimmers would not work correctly.

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

I'm sure it could be used to replace a 3-way switch, but you should check Honeywell's website to be sure. It really is just a fancy switch with a timer to turn lights on and off, but you can use it manually just fine.

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.

Yes, because it is a 3-way switch. I have my wired in such a circuit, and it works perfectly.

Yes you should be able to use a 3 way, but I never tried. This turns a normal lamp into a dimmable lamp. I have several and LOVE them. Even the fact that you can place the control where you want it make a difference. No more reaching up into the lamp to turn it on.

Hi Michelle. I'm afraid not. It does works perfectly, but it is large and will not fit on a 3-switch panel.

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

A four way lighting situation usually consists of 2 3-way switches and one 4-way switch. This should work if you use it to replace one of the 3-way switches, but will probably not work to replace the 4-way switch.JohnJohn

Hi, yes it would, this one is a grounded three wire device and you may not even need that. Everyone sells the non grounded switch for a couple of dollars.

It is for two and three way switches be sure to check the model and function of the switch. I use it to control the six recessed lights in my game room. I have paired it with a Logitech remote that controls my entertainment system and other electronics. I only use one switch with the IR function and can change the light settings from anywhere in the room, (I always have the remote with me).

I am not sure if it will work the way you want it to. I am using it as a dimmer switch for a lamp.

That should work fine unless it's a three way switch. Is that the only switch that controls the fan? If not, you must pick one switch to replace and bypass the other switch.

I would guess not. Three way switches use a third connector for a traveler wire. I don't believe this unit has that feature.
