    Like I stated in my previous post, you will need the respective companion dimmers or switches for this setup. These dimmers are digital devices and they will not work in a 4-way setup with your existing mechanical switches. You will need to replace the existing mechanical switches with the companions for the product that you purchased.

    Ok. It was not stated that all switches need to be replace in your reply. Also I see on the Lutron site (assets .Lutron.com/a/documents/MACL_FAQ.pdf)
    that it should be compatible with a mechanical switch.if I need to replace I will do exactly that. Can you make sure that the mcl153 is not compatible with mechanical switches because it conflicts with info on the MACL-FAQ page

    The MACL-LFQ is a single-pole only dual control. The MACL-153M is a multilocation dimmer. If the dimmer is installed in a 3-way application (2 locations), one location can be the MACL-153M and the other location can be a mechanical switch. As soon as there is a 4-way switch involved (3 or more locations), you will need to use one MACL-153M and all other locations will need to be MA-R companion dimmers.
