Is it possible to use a second dimmer, just with no load connected, at this location to achieve this goal? 2. There is a desire to add a dimmer to an existing 4way set up in the kitchen. The location for the additional dimmer controls has power but is not wired into the existing 4 way. Construction to add the necessary travelers would be excessively expensive here. My thought is to use another dimmer with no attached load and then program it to act as a virtual part of the 4 way. I’m confident this can work but I am not clear on how the led level feedback and the dimming functionality would work. Presumably operating the ramp up and down buttons on this additional dimmer is going to try and control the local (non existent) load and the led level will track that as well, right? Is there a way to integrate these so that works, or perhaps a better solution? Thanks! -J
