(1) I am using quite a few PD-10NXD Pro Dimmers and some of them are in a 3-way configuration. I don't want to rely on PICO remotes for additional locations and would prefer physical switches. I was hoping to use MA-S8AM as a slave... But when I called Tech Support today, I was informed that PD-10NXD only works with a "mechanical" slave switch... Can someone explain why would a digital switch not work as a slave? Seems like wiring would be the same. What's the difference?
(2) Does anyone know of "mechanical" switches that look similar to the Caseta and Maestro lineups? Is it even possible to have a "mechanical" tap switch? I don't want a rocker next to flat Lutrons...
(3) Lastly, just looking for a (sad) confirmation that there is no way to improvise wiring of MACL-LFQ (dual switch with fan+led) in a 3-way circuit?
Thanks in advance!
