Hi,

In the U.K., I use LightwaveRF master and slave switches to control 2 (and 3-) way lights, while in Europe, I use the D-IO dimmers behind the regular EU light switch. Problem I have is that these dimmers are OK for 1-way, but D-IO have no solution for 2-way light switches, so I'm asking the forum of Europeans, what do you use to handle multiple-way switches?

No, It isn't about the transmitters; the issue is that some lights can be controlled by two light switches - say at the top and bottom of the stairs. My question is what do you use in Europe to control this as the kaku dimmers won't work. I checked with them and they say that they have no solution, but surely this is a common setup in Europe.

I use zwave switches/dimmers they are having seperate switch inputs and also work with 2 way lights. With rf switches you lose your power line when switching one of the two switches of your 2 way lights.
Possible soluties for rf switch:

@dutchdevil83,

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. The LightwaveRF switches in the U.K. Use the third wire (yellow) for signalling which normally is powered at 240v. I can see how both your suggestions would work.

@gordonb3, I must admit, I don't know what you are saying here. Why would the kaku block go into learning mode when it has power applied continuously? And why two remotes? You only need one.

You have to swap over your wires so one is always live see http://www.vesternet.com/resources/appl ... s/apnt-112
