Question'

Installing a 3way switch

Do i need to install two 3-way switches, one on each end for this to work? if so is the netural wire (white) required for the second switch?

The first switch has  all the required wires, the second switch has lineout and two travelers, one ground, NO netural

You can use only one HS210, but it will need to be installed on the Line part or the side where the power is coming from the circuit. That is where you would wire the neutral wire, the other switch does not need it.

 

So you will have:

 

              Neutral
