I have a pair of WD200+ dimmers in a hallway working as 3-way switches (companions) using Group 2 Associations (no traveler wire). I also have a motion sensor to automatically turn on the hall light to the last dim level if I enter at night.
Everything works great when either switch is controlled manually. The other switch follows the one being pressed - the LEDs move in tandem. And both switches remember the last dim level regardless of which switch was used to set the dim level.
But, I'm having 2 problems when the lights are controlled by my motion event.
First, when my event senses motion, it turns on the WD200+ with the load. This works fine, but the LEDs on the remote WD200+ do not light up and follow along. Is there some way for the remote WD200+ to stay in sync when the load WD200+ is controlled by my motion event?
Second, when the last dim level was set manually using the remote WD200+, the motion event fails to use that last dim level. Is there some way to make my motion event use the last dim level regardless of which dimmer was used to set the last dim level?
I’m happy to add to my events. But I know there are frequently multiple ways to make things work. So, I’m looking for the best/preferred way to solve my 2 problems.
