3-way switch question

[dimensionzero]

Hey guys,

 

I have a few questions about setting up a 3 way switch.

I still have to figure out the wiring in the house but was wondering about how things would work in the end..

 

If I want to have the light "dimmable", do both controlling switches have to be dimmers or just the controlling one on the load?

 

And if I can mix and match, will the dimmer status show correctly on a linked on/off switchlinc?

 

Thanks!

Only the switch physically controlling the load needs to be a Dimmer.

No. SwitchLinc Relay devices do not have all the status LEDs installed as a dimmer has. It cannot show mid point status because there are no LEDs in the mid points.

Ah you're right! I never really looked closely at the circuit board until you mentioned that!

Hmm, I wonder if I soldered on LEDs if they would work...
