3-Way Dimmer Switch Wiring
Need Answer
Does anyone use 3-way dimmer switches? I'm wiring my basement and have been trying to figure out the difference between wiring for a normal 3-way switch and wiring for a 3-way Z-wave dimmer switch. If you read the reviews for a lot of the Z-Wave dimming switches, they are all over the map. Most people indicate the included directions are incorrect.
I'm wiring for a "normal" 3-way this way:
Switch 1 - Load & 14/3 Traveler
Switch 2 - Hot & 14/3 Traveler
Is there any difference when wiring for a Z-wave 3-way since it's a Master / Slave relationship between the two switches?

Can you be more specific what device you plan to wire?

I'm not partial to an brand. I was thinking of the GoControl Z-Wave Dimmer (LNWD500Z1) and a GoControl Accessory Switch (LNWT00Z1)

Don't think you can use any z-wave dimmer ass on this picture: http://www.do-it-yourself-help.com/images/3-way-switch-dimmer.gif
But if you use the 2 wires without any power on them and only use them as a switch on, one of the input on the z-wave dimmer you can use the second switch: http://img.weiku.com/a/002/490/TZ76_Z_wave_3_way_insert_on_off_module_with_868_42MHz_frequency_6747_5.jpg
