I did the same. I wish dimmers would work.

I just bought a new HS210 earlier this

month on Amazon. I was able to install just one HS210 on the load side and I got full control and feedback on the app in a 4 way situation. 

 

In the older units - I needed to install a HS210 on both end to make it work correctly in the app for the feedback. 

 

I am still struggling on the dimmers in a 4 way situation. 

 

I am still investigating. 

 

I have read these posts- but need a good diagram on splicing in a satellite where the four-way switch would be. I'm still a little confused on that.

 

Hope this helps you  

 

 

Jeff

  @jprah You need the HS210Kit or Single 3-Ways without dimmer.  I fought and lost with the Dimmable 3-Way.  The Dimmable version does not operate as a standard 3-way since it also communicates the dimmer status over the pair. The non-dimmable 3-ways work well with standard 3 or 4-way switches. I am an Electrician.

  @smarcus3 For some reason, I can do the same with just one (HS210) 3 way installed and all works fine.

  @Lman Has anyone else tried this with success? Using two kits?

It doesn’t work. This whole post was just based on the “Version 1” that was sold several years ago. Since they started selling “Version 2”, none of this works anymore. There’s absolutely no way to do this with a four-way.

My electrician just deleted one of my switches (we didnt really use it) and turned the circuit into a three-way dimmer and it works...needed the dimming function.
