    Question pd-5ans lights flash 3 times when using traveller to turn on

    I am trying to use a pd-5ans in a multi-switch configuration. The issue is that sometimes when I turn on the lights using the hard-wired switches, it will cause the lights to flash 3 times before staying on. It only happens when switching ON, and from the traveller. Using the PD-5ans directly or wifi, it does not exhibit the problem.I am using the switch in a 6-way configuration. Thankfully the line, load, neutral and toggling circuit were all coming to the same box, so I put the pd-5ans there. I am using a 3-way-like circuit to toggle power on/off to the traveller. Please see the bad drawing attached. As this is quite a long run, I am wondering if its a problem with the traveller being connected to a long circuit and floating, rather than being tied to ground or line, so its picking up noise? I do have the ability to switch it to ground as the alternative to line - but I don't know the internals of how it works.

    Sometimes even when using the PD-5ANS with the neutral connection the circuit may need more resistance pending on the type of lighting load (typically LED's) for which you can add a LUT-MLC https://www.lutron.com/TechnicalDocu...94_LUT-MLC.pdf to the fixture. This may help improve the performance. However, being this is a multi location circuit you should be using Pico remotes at the other locations. The PD-5ANS is only rated to be installed with one 3 way mechanical switch. https://www.casetawireless.com/Docum...ced%20Inst.pdf
