    Replacing GE dimmers with Homeseer

    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?

    As long as your lights have the white common wire then the wiring is the same.

      thanks.. three questions.

      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.

        oh... one more. assume double/triple tap work with companion switches as well? same events through all 3-way, or can it be different?

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

          Thanks, they came in last night! One thing I wish was that the companion switches had the LED status lights as well.

            The Jasco companion switches will work with the HomeSeer dimmers and switches. They present a simple resistive value between the neutral and traveler wire. The HS and GE/Jasco companions measure the same. I am still using a few Jasco companions with HS switches.

              Oh man..... Wonder if HS will let me send back the $100 in companion switches I just received?

                Can someone remind me of i can use the replace function for these so I don't have to go back and exit my existing events? Can't find a solid answer.
