Hello,

I have a typical setup where in my hall I have a two-gang two way switch.
one controls the loung light ad one controls the light upstairs.
To this i have fitter a two-way Varilight Master dimmer.

upstairs I have a a rocker swithc which, I want to replace with a Varilight slave dimmer. I have a 2way slave dimmer with the usual connection points on the back ( S ~/ Live )

However when I removed the rocker I have the following wires

2 Red - Live
Blue and Yellow ( together ) - Live
1 Red - seems to be neutral


How do I wire the slave dimmer ?

any help is appreciated.

You need to decide which of the 3+ popular methods of 2 way switching you have - see the refernce section for those.
It sounds like non-standard colours, but more important is to deduce if its comm to comm, or comm to live and comm to lamp in the original.
Then you need to decide what the master slave dimmer circuit is expecting, and re-use the cables acordingly - can you post a diagram or picture of what you have, its very difficult otherwise.
