im looking for a 4 way dimmer solution… i have an entry way light with 3 switches, top of steps, bottom of steps, on the landing.
i cant seem to find a good sure-fire solution for a 4-way smart dimmer solution. everything i am seeing when searching actually is only 3 way, or is listed as 4way, but reviews say its actually not 4 way.
id rather get it right the first time instead of buying and trying things until it works. any help is appreciated thanks.
(btw, the entry way light is a chandelier with 9 bulbs, i cannot use HUE)

What I did in my house, instead of all the fuckery with special 4 way dimmers ways, is use a 3 way smart dimmer, and put it on the incoming power.
That way you don’t need any special setup, it dims lights going to the other switches.
There are several Z-Wave 4-Way dimmer options. I responded to a relevant post only a few hours ago.
Are you looking for something that works with existing switches or replaces them all?
Something like a Zooz you just replace a switch with it’s dimmer and the other with turn the lights on/off to last dimmed level.
Pretty much every dimmer manufacturer has a companion switch that you can install multiples of to many dimmers.
If your running z-wave etc multiple manufactures dimmers and be setup to work together, where you dim one the others go to the same level.
Wire one switch physically to the lights, have the other two switches mirror the first switch is what I would do if I have it my way.
I use Tasmota and Home Assistant so I can do that.
Zooz has some that work with 4 way quite well
