I have a 4-way circuit to replace switches on. I am using one PD-5WS (caseta PRO switch), one CA-3PS (claro mechanical switch), one PJ2-2B (pico remote control).
There are "Lutron Advanced Wiring Instructions" online - but they only show wiring for a combination of 2 mechanical switches or 2 pico remotes - while I need 1 switch plus 1 pico. Contacted Lutron Chat and they were unable to help. Will call their 800 tech support number later when I get a chance, but for now, any help from here?
P.S. Bonus points if we can figure out how to put the 5WS switch in place of a 4-way. However, I would be happy even with placing it instead of 3-way switches. Both options would be best.
I'll give it a quick shot myself... Top "black" wire on 5WS always goes to Load... It looks like when we are using 5WS with mechanical switches, bottom "blue" and "black" traveler wires alternate "on" or off based on the state of mechanical switch, witch changes the state of Caseta switch... When we are using 5WS with pico's, the traveler wires are tied together in the 4-way location, bottom "blue" is not used and bottom "black" goes to Line...
So, let's say I replace the 4-way location with a PICO, put 5WS in one 3-way, and put 3PS into another 3-way location. I would connect 5WS top black wire to Load. I would still run bottom blue and black "traveler" wires to the 3PS and then one from 3PS to Line. But instead of connecting all 4 traveler wires together in the 4-way switch location (behind new pico), I would run the two travelers separately there, making two connections in the 4-way switch location. Does that sound correct?
