Same issue - sorta
I'm hoping I get some accurate input here, as I'm attempting to use this same company's master/remote 3 way dimmers to replace 2-3 way switches in my master bath (5 cans).
From what I can gather, it appears that I have the existing two switches wired as in this schematic:
http://www.homeimprovementweb.com/information/how-to/three-way-switch-option4.htm
Each existing switch has one black (hot), one red (traveler) and one white wire, but darkened (I presume as a substitute for wrapping it with black electrical tape) - and a ground. That is telling me that power goes through the cans, does it not?
I have the same wiring diagram as the OP (included with the kit) - and, like the OP, my dimmers do not have a white wire. The Pass & Seymour
Leandro 2 location dimming kit I have (600W) has a Master, and a Remote. The Master has 4 wires: Black, Yellow, Red, and a bare ground. The Remote has 4 wires also: Black, Yellow, Grey, and Bare Ground.
The Master Dimmer works, with the following configuration: I have attached the Black Dimmer wire to Black (hot); the Yellow to Red (traveler?); the Darkened White (also a traveler - hot?) to Red, and the Ground to Ground.
The Remote is wired the following way (Remote wire color mentioned first): Black to Black
and Darkened White; Yellow to Red, Grey
and Bare Ground to Ground. Configured this way, the Remote does nothing - though, if I
disconnect the Darkened White from Black (hot), the Master no longer works either.
Can someone decode what I just wrote here and tell me what I am screwing up - or, even better - take the info I've given on the Leandro Series Master/Remote dimmers I have and combine it with the wiring diagram to which I've linked and tell me what exactly is supposed to be connected to what?
Thanks very much. I'm frustrated, but at least not electrocuted.
