Review: Can't find these in your local hardware store! - I recently moved into a new home that had no dimmers installed on any lights. I visited my local hardware store in search of multi-location dimmer switches. The only true multi-location switch they had was the Lutron Maestro master switch. I bought two of them for one set of lights. Herein lies my first problem. None of the exterior packaging on the master switch said that you had to buy the companion switch for all but one location for the circuit. Unfortunately, none of the local hardware shops in town carried the companion switch because it didn't sell well (presumably because people didn't know they needed it!) Long story short: if you want true multi-location dimming capability, you MUST buy ONE of the Maestro master switches and the rest of the switches on that circuit must be THIS companion switch. ALSO worth mentioning is that this companion switch will work with any lights: incandescent, CFL, or LED, so long as the master switch is compatible with your lights. Now on to the review! I consider myself fairly electrically competent, at least enough to run new outlets and whatnot. Converting my old, 3 way non-dimming switch setup over to these 3-way dimmers was very simple since the package the switch comes in does include instructions for various scenarios. My advice to anyone wiring these switches is to pay attention when removing wires from your old switches so that you get it right on the first try. These switches look very nice and clean. I bought it in white; however they offer a multitude of colors to match your decor. The switch has a satisfying click when you tap the button, and it has a few nice features. For instance, you can double tap the button at any time to instantly raise the lights to max brightness. The switch remembers the last brightness setting you had so that when you turn the lights back on, it goes to that setting. Probably my favorite feature is the way the switch dims the lights on and off; it just looks so classy! Long story shot, I'm very happy with the Lutron Maestro series of switches. Since I moved in, I have replaced all my light switches in the house with the same style Lutron switches and I have had no failures. They all look sharp and have a clean, crisp feel when switching on and off. I would definitely recommend them!
Review: Only works with Meastro master dimmer - My local big box home center with the orange and black logo carries the 3 way master dimmers and master dimmer pack with companion dimmers. I had bought 2 3 way master dimmers at the store and thought they would work with a standard 3 way switch. They do not. So I went back to the store and by the time I got done explaining to the kid in the electrical department, I had ordered the two companion dimmers from desertcart on from my phone. What is great about the companion dimmers, is that now not only am I able to turn on and off the lights from two separate locations, I can now also dim lights from two separate locations. According to the directions, I can also add several companion dimmers to one master dimmer and therefore Dim from several locations. I don't need to do this, but if you're someone who has a really large room and would like to do this this is the perfect solution for you. I was a little nervous wiring these myself because they are digital technology and I fear if I wired it wrong I could blow either the master dimmer or the companion dimmer or both. But the wiring directions and the color coding on the companion dimmers made it super simple to wire. There is also a little "defeat switch" at the top or the bottom of the dimmer switch that when you pull it out it kills the circuit the whole thing. It's almost like shutting it off at the breaker. The dimmer switch system that Maestro produces is very sophisticated. when you turn the lights on tthe lights fade on and when you go to shut off the system the lights fade off. But honestly, if I would have known how much all of this is going to cost me from the beginning, I would've just used regular analog dimmers. (one regular three-way switch is like four or five dollars an the companion dimmer being 20. The master dimmer was 29 at the store, and a regular dimmer is 19) but it's great technology and In the end I am extremely satisfied.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy setup, work flawlessly
*by W***Y on March 15, 2026*

This is a companion switch, if you have dual switch controls one set of lights, this is a must have replacement. I bought the maestro main dimmer and this is the pair switch fir the second light control.
