Would the remote (slave) part of a wireless switch count for one of the switches at the top or bottom of steps that require a switch at both levels?
I use them too. But all my installations have been in existing buildings/dwellings. The situation here is a gutted house that is being rewired (not by me) and it would be difficult to get wiring into the basement from the upstairs. It will be inspected and I just wondered if the inspector would agree that it should meet the requirements.Shouldn’t be a problem at all.
I’ve been installing a lot of the Cassetta switches recently. Got a pretty good range even through walls and out to a detached garage. There is even a kit that makes the remotes look like a regular decora switch.
Just set some up in a commercial garage. The owner said the mechanics keep leaving the lights on when they leave. Installed a single main switch with a contactor to shut them all off using his smart phone. The app shows wether they are on or not, and still have local control at the entrance.

Oh that isn't what I pictured when you said "There is even a kit that makes the remotes look like a regular decora switch."The orange box has them, probably the blue box too.View attachment 2559529
Here's one I've used that has a rocker on/off switch. But the wired unit is a power pack at the light...Oh that isn't what I pictured when you said "There is even a kit that makes the remotes look like a regular decora switch."
That just makes the remote look like a wall mounted Pico. Not a decora switch.
This is what I pictured.![]()

Yes, a decora dimmer, not a regular decora switch.Oh that isn't what I pictured when you said "There is even a kit that makes the remotes look like a regular decora switch."

Frankly, the Pico remotes do match the Caséta dimmers anklet exactly so that's good. Although I don't particularly care for the look of the Caséta, it just looks busy. I tend to go for the Lutron Diva or Maestro dimmers in a home that has Decora switches (obviously no "smart" features with those options)Yes, a decora dimmer, not a regular decora switch.
