I have mostly Leviton smart switches in my house motion lights, dimmers and switches.
I have two areas where I need help though.
1- outdoor lights- 4 way switch meaning 3 light switches. I want the ability to turn them off from my phone, don’t necessarily need dimming, but it wouldn’t hurt either. I’m not sure how I would go about wiring these as I do need each indoor switch to work.
2- front porch- I have a switch that’s actually two switches, one for porch lights and one for garage lights. I need a smart switch for this application.
Ideally I’d like to stay with Leviton or Apple home products.
Former electrician here… caseta, maestro or higher if it’s in your price range… yes it’s expensive, but hands down the most reliable and secure system there is. IMHO there is no other choice
1- there are smart switches specific for this. But most work differently than the old dumb switch. You usually wire them with only one master switch actually controlling the load and how many slave switches you need for the other locations. The salves just tell the master what to do.
There are some special ones that allow you to only have to change one switch to a new smart master switch and will work in conjunction with the existing dumb switches in the circuit. Much cheaper, but you only get dimming control from the master.
2 - Sounds like you need a double-switch. I know zooz has one. https://www.getzooz.com/zooz-zen30-double-switch/
