Do I need this switch if a circuit is already wired 3-way or in that case would I just use two Evolve LSM-15s?

The 3way wiring becomes useless. I use the 5 associated with a 15 or LRM dimmer. You will need an Aeon Labs Minimote or similar to associate them unless you have a controller like Vera. The 5 is basically a scene controller. Actually just replaced a 4way with this configuration today.

I don't believe so, but I do think they have a Three-Way Switch pack they sell. If you already have one switch, and just want to add another, you may have to just purchase a whole extra unit (if no 3-way is available) and just not use the plug part. Use the Search Box here on Amazon' to look for what you are wanting. Check out:

Yes. I wired mine to the existing switch. If you don't have one, just add one inline to your power panel.

No, you need to use a standard 4 wire LNB and run all 4 wires to the switch.

Let me preface by saying I am not an electrician, but I am fairly certain that you may use the RF switch without using the other 3-way dimmer in the package. The system should work fine with any standard 3-way switch system. I didn't need the extra either, but it was so easy to change, I used it as well. Hope this helps.

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

Which controller do you have? The cheapest way (not sure of your location) is to go your local LOWES hardware store and buy the GE IRIS 3- way setup with 2 switches in one box for 44.99. Your Probley going to have alot more questions tho. And you should be asking installation questions. Z-wave switches require a netural wire until non z-wave switches. I feel you should check out the forum of what ever controller your going to use and find out more info before buying. You can ask more questions here also if you'd like.

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

Technically it would work (using the NO and NC connections), but this is not the type of relay that you would want. For the other light switch to work, once you activate this relay you would have to leave it that way, which would burn power (not a lot, but not a good idea either). Also, if it were in the activated state with the light off and you had a power drop, the light would most likely turn on when the power came back. To replace a 3-way switch, you really want a latching relay, not a regular one like this.

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.

no, you need a hvl switch which has 3 toggle switch. use a 12/4 tray cable to wire the unit.

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.

Sorry you are out of luck. This particular switch requires 3 wires and a ground - you should return it. Some other switches only require 2 wires. Your two wires are both "hot", usually black wires, the line and load they are called. This switch also requires white/neutral and should also be grounded - green.

You will need a switch and some wire. You can find wiring diagrams online for a basic switch wiring. I have 4 of these wired to 2 switches. They are great

You don't need the red wire if you are not using a second switch for a three way circuit

Yes and no, you can set up up as a 3 or more way switch but you need a insteon switch or keypad at each location. You can not use the insteon switch with a standard switch in a 3 way configuration.
