Two Dimmer Switches Linked Together

[DerekN]

I have two dimmer switches ( A and B ) that are in a scene as controllers.  Each controls a light.

I would expect that they where in a virtual three-way-switch scenario.

Turning A on or off turns B on or off.

However, turning B on or off has no effect on A.

 

Do I need to do something like have two scenes?  One where A is the controller and B is the responder and other where B is the controller and A is the responder?  But it feels like that can't be right...

 

Also, there is a button on a Mini Remote that controls the scene as well.

Sounds like B is a responder only to the scene. Remove B from the scene and add it back as a controller. And, yes, you can add any Mini Remote button as a scene controller.

Well B was clearly a controller - it was red.  But I deleted it and re-added it and now it works.  Odd.  Thanks!

DerekN, in retrospect, I wonder if switch B was, in fact, a controller, but the responder level for switch A was somehow set to zero.
