Abstract
A multiple location dimming system may include a smart dimmer (e.g., a main load control device) and one or more remote dimmers (e.g., accessory devices) for controlling the amount of power delivered to a lighting load. The multiple location dimming system may be installed in place of a multiple location switch system (e.g., having three, four, or more multi-way switches), and may not require a neutral connection at any of the control devices of the multiple location dimming system. The main load control device and the accessory devices of the multiple location dimming system may be configured to display a present intensity level of a lighting load on one or more visual indicators. The accessory devices may have the same or different user interfaces as the main load control device, and may provide additional functionality over that which the main load control device offers.
