Hi David,
I had 3 way-switches and I replaced them with 1 LW11 and two momentary
switches.
It's simple, just install LW11 in place of one of the switches and then
connect all the momentary switches to momentary terminals of the LW11.
Of course all the momentary switches (could be as many as you like of
them) must be in parallel so as soon as one is pressed it makes contact
on momentary terminals and makes dimming.
For double switches, the only solution is to make them momentary and put
some kind of micromodule behind them, if you don't want to cut new wall
mounts.

Cheers,
Nik

Ian,

Maybe I missing something, but I need to switch 2 way switches (3
connectors common,Sp1,sp2) which cant be done with a LW10 I also
have some double switches (2 buttons with one wall plate) again the
LW10 does cut it unless I use two of them and cut new wall mounts in
which I was trying to avoid.

the past with a  TM13U and LW10's. They work reasonably well but
range of the TM13 is limited (35 feet in open air).
