I have one four-way in the middle and two three-way switches. I put in two smart switches for this three ways and set them up as individual switches not together. But still, it is not working correctly. Any know how to fix this.

i have one main and two satellites to configure my 4 way switch. They are version 1s because versions 2 will not work. Or at least I couldn't find a way to get them to work. That being said I had to order almost 40 used kits on Amazon which almost all of them were broke until I got working ones. Anyway in a 4 way configuration the led remains lit whether the light is on or off. At least it does for sure on the satellites. I can't remember if that is the same for the main switch. I'll double check tomorrow as I'm away from home. As far as a solution for the leds always on I don't have one. I was just glad to get it working at that point. However inovelli does make a 4 way switch but you have to purchase each switch separately which will get expensive. But a solution nonetheless. Haven't tried them yet as I already replaced my entire house when the inovelli switches were announced.

people have said they figured out how to do it so I'm trying to ask the community to see if there's something that I might've done wrong. Doesn't matter

  @Chesky-Neuman1 Like everybody else, you keep asking tp-link to produce an actual 4-way switch to replace the "dumb" switches. With enough voices, they might actually listen and produce one.

  @PatchyFog 

I don't know how everyone is getting the four-way installation, correct. I have four switches altogether. 
The two middle four-way switches I'm leaving as dumb and the two three-way switches I put smart switches on them. The problem is the circle LED is always on and it's not detecting when the actual switches off.

How do I fix this?

  @Jay89 Your plan should work. I've read or watched a video somewhere where that was a solution. You'll just wanna cover up the 4 way spot with a blank plate. 

Please critique my plan.

I have a 4-way foyer light. One switch is upstairs and two switches are on the first floor not too far from each other. I use Alexa voice commands for controlling my lights including temperature and brightness. I really don't need two switches on the ground floor.

My plan is to remove the 4-way switch by connecting it's two black wires together and the red wires together. This is in essence converting 3 switches to two switches. I do not see any reason why it would not work. Further, I can identify 4-way switch by looking at how many wires connect to the switch. If it has 4 wires connected to it (not including ground) it is the 4-way switch that I should remove. 

Please let me know if my plan will work.

Thanks,

Jay

  @board4mic I followed this with 4 switches.  I have 2 3 ways on the ends, and 2 4 ways in the middle.   Power and load each on separate 3 way.   I put smart dimmer kit (230) on each end.   Those work fine.   If I flip a dumb 4 way it says there is a wiring issue and shuts down the smart switches.   Any thoughts?

  @judetf How do you get all three to add to the app and work as one switch? I haven't used the v1 version but the v2 version just connected as a pair. I've ordered 2 v1 kits in anticipation I can get this working. 

  @Indecision I'm curious did you get the V1 dimmer switches to work? Also how do you add all three switches to the app? When I set up just a normal three way it detected the pair and was done. Does the third one just add to it?
