I took out some old dimmers and am putting in new HS-WD100+ into a 3 gang box. I've put in several HS dimmers as well as Jasco switches, but never into a 3 gang box.
The wiring in this box was painful to begin with as there 5 romex in this box.
3 for each light set going to a switch
1 going to the panel
1 going to another switch on the other side of the wall
If it wasn't for the daisy chained romex feeding from this box to the next I'd be fine. And in all honesty the ground seems to be the toughest to resolve right now.
I've tested my current wiring and it works fine, but of course now I have to shove it all back in the box, which I just don't see happening.
Does anyone see anything I'm doing that's unnecessary that could be removed? Or a better way of doing it?
I created a diagram of the way it's wired on creately.

The ground wire nuts are the kind you can pass a wire through the top of it and screw in additional, so the 3rd switch actually has a long ground cable that loops the screw, goes to a passthru wire nut and ties additional together... it's ugly.
