I have some lights they were setup as a 3 way switch. I installed two WD500z switchs and capped the traveler wire. The switches are acting all strange. Sometimes I cant find one switch or the other and generally only one will turn the light on. I figured with the traveler removed they would work independently but that doesn’t seem to be the case. How do I get this to work?
The Linear WD500Z-1 dimmer cannot be used with any other switch on the same circuit(loads). Connecting two WD500Z-1 dimmers together presents a likelihood of damaging the dimmers or causing a fire.
For 3-way control of a light(s), using the WD500Z-1, you should use the Linear WT00Z-1 Accessory Switch. This switch is independently powered and controls the WD500Z-1 dimmer wirelessly.
See the attached diagram for an example configuration.
LRM-AS = WD500Z-1
LTM-5 = WT00Z-1
