Please log in for more thread options with X10. Sites like X10.com and Leviton suggest using an X10 controller for one end and then using special X10 companion switches for the other switches. I spoke to someone at tech support at one of the X10 vendors and he confirmed my suspicion that you can use regular 3- or 4-way switches for everything but the controller at one end. e.g., For 3-way: [X10 3-way master] <==> [Standard 3-way]
For 4-way: [X10 3-way master] <===> [Standard 4-way] <===> [Standard 3-way]
The above makes sense electrically since only switch needs to be controlled remotely. Can anybody confirm that indeed one can use standard (and cheaper) 3/4 way switches for everything but the master? | |||||||||||||
