I currently have a 3way light circuit with 2 dimmer switches. I want to replace these with zwave switches. What switch would i use as the slave dimmer switch so both zwave switches can dim the lights from the switches? Thanks

You can use the GE 3 way zwave switch. Comes with two switches( master and slave). Master switch would be the gang box that has the power coming in - It's been a LONG time since I did the wiring for this so I don't remember all the exact details, but you would need to look at your wiring and see how your 3ways are wired. I think there are 3 or 4 ways to wire a 3 way switch, but there is a common way.
Just google 3way wiring and see how yours looks.Tom

I have neutral in the house. Thanks for the links, very helpful.
One other question. I have a 3 switch (2 upstairs, one downstairs) 3-way circuit for my hallway lights. Can I just replace one of those switches with a 3-way zwave switch to control the lights through homeseer or do I need to replace all 3?
Thanks
