replacing a 2 way standard switch with a dimmer which will control one lamp.
noted the wiring previously used but it doesnt work with the dimmer.
at switch 1 i have(this is the dimmer)
cable1- red and black
cable2- red blue yellow
at switch 2 i have (the standard switch)
cable-1 red blue yellow
The dimmer is called chelsea flat plate range
it has
L1
L2
comm
At switch 1 when the red resides in L1 and black in L2 the dimmer doesnt respond, when the red is in comm and black in L1 or vice versa it does work.
I have tried various combinations from this and some other sites but i cannot for the life of me control the light with both switches.
would be very greatful if someone could help me.
Cheers
