I am new to Insteon and I keep running into problems every step of the way. At this point I am close to giving up but I'm hoping someone here can help me before I do because I really want to make this work. So my setup, I have a 3 way switch controlling 3 LED recessed lights. I purchased 2 Insteon 2477D dimmer switches so that I can replace both switches in the 3 way circuit. I wired the switches exactly as the wiring diagram in the docs say to do and it all seems to make perfect sense. However, it flat out doesn't work. I tried every possible combination I could think of and nothing worked. I tried the switch in another location that has the exact same LED light fixture but is not in a 3 way configuration and it worked perfectly. So the switch seems to be good and it does not appear to have any problem working with that particular LED fixture.
Anyway, when I say it doesn't work what I mean specifically is that the dimmer switch doesn't even seem to have power. The LED indicator does not come on. I press and hold the Set button and nothing blinks or beeps. It's as if it's not getting power at all. I used a voltage detector to find the load wire so I know I have the load wire correct. I checked the connections and they seem good and I've wired and re-wired it 10 different times now.
I'm wondering will the switch simply not work with LED in a 3-way circuit? Is there a step I'm missing? Like some special programming after they are connected (though pressing the Set button doesn't seem to do anything so how could I program?)
What are some things I might try to figure this out? I would THINK that I could only hook up the one switch and leave the 2nd switch completely disconnected and I would at least get the one switch to power on? Right???
If it is helpful the wiring setup is 2 black wires, a white wire, a red wire and a ground wire. I verified that one of the black wires is the load wire.
Thanks
