    4-way control

    does anyone know how to make a 4-way control with GE z-wave light switches?
    Thanks!

    I have two light systems configured as a three way switch and one as a four way switch. All of them work flawlessly.
    The GE manual illustrates how to wire the 45613 three way to accommodate an additional auxiliary switch (45603) for a four way. The 45613 three way contains two switches, a primary dimmer switch (45607) and an auxiliary switch (45610). You will need to purchase an additional auxiliary switch for a four way system. All of them are available through the Homeseer store. The auxiliary switches "Yellow" wires are tied together to provide control to the main Dimmer switch (45607). These auxiliary switches outputs (yellow wire) provide pulsed logic so must be wired together independent of the normal house wiring. Again, the aux switches do not carry load power for the system; only logic level signals to the main Dimmer switch.
    The GE system requires 4 wires; Black (Hot) White (neutral), Green (Ground) and Yellow (Traveler). If these wires all exist at the junction boxes the system can be wired correctly.
    Study the manual carefully. I find most people cannot let go of the "traditional" way of wiring three ways and four ways. You must let that go and then you will make progress.
