Leviton switch and load

Other Devices & Integrations Lighting & Load Control

Can I install a Leviton z-wave switch without a load and have it function as a scene controller for a second switch ch?

This simulates a three way switch without connecting the second switch to the actual load

Thanks

Yes absolutely. Just make sure if the switch is the type that has leads (rather tan screw terminals) that you cap them off so there is no risk of shorting with another wire.

Just for the record, there are one button scene controllers available specifically for this purpose. They can be used for virtual 3-way setups as well as controlling other devices. These switches do not directly control a load.

What I need is a two switch single gang option where one switch is a 3-way

I have not seen such a device

This is a one gang two button scene controller that also switches two loads.

This is a one gang one button scene controller. It does not directly switch a load. It can be used in a 3-way configuration with one of the buttons/loads of the above two button controller.

The switches without a neutral, such as the VRI06-1LZ, will not work without a load (nor will they work if the bulb is dead).
