I've bought a house with a number of z-wave smart switches. I have a 3 gang box that had 2 smart switches (#1 & #2 on diagram) and one mechanical switch (#3) with no neutral wire. Smart switch #1 died, so I replaced it. So far, no problem. I thought I'd add a third smart switch to replace the...

I have a 3-way switch setup I have in a staircase (top & bottom). There's standard toggles there now and I want to replace them with a couple of Insteon smart switches. I had a discussion here awhile back about them, and I remember (I think) that one of the wires is a "traveler" between the...
