Thinking of replacing some of my 3way GE dimmer setups with Homeseer dimmers. Can someone tell me if it's a pretty straightforward wire swap?

1. does it use the red traveler wire
2. I supposed I can't use the GE companion switches ?
3. Anyone know how I can get it in a dark brown?
oh... one more. assume double/triple tap work with companion switches as well? same events through all 3-way, or can it be different?

Yes, optionally if you need a companion switch.
2. I supposed I can't use the GE companion switches ?
I don't know on this one, I have only used the HomeSeer companion switches. But I think they are pretty simple devices so there may be a good chance of interoperability.
3. Anyone know how I can get it in a dark brown?
Not sure.

The companion switches simply mirror the double/triple tap event from the parent switch. They do not provide distinct/unique double/triple tap events.
