Alright. So after sleeping on this last night, I think I have things figured out. Should be just like @kreddad said, only need one traveler and I’ll use the second to tie the neutral from the main switch box to the remote box. Just hoping my remote model with LED will still function without wiring the LED in. If you guys think this will be a no go, I’ll order the remote without LED indicator and return the one I have.
So here is my plan. I attached more pictures of the instructions below for reference. Please let me know what you guys think. In the main switch box with hot goes the new main switch. Line (1) goes to BK terminal, neutral (2) goes to WH terminal, ground (3) goes to green/ground terminal, first traveler (4) is supposed to connect to RD terminal and then run to remote switch box and pigtail to load line out to fixture. But since the load line out to the fixture in my situation is already in the main switch box (coming back from the remote switch) I’ll undo that pigtail and attach the load line out to the fixture directly to the RD terminal. Second traveler (5) to terminal marked YL/RD. For the remote switch load (1) and first traveler (4) have been addressed in the main switch box and are now obsolete in the remote box. Neutral (2) will be the old load line and will pigtail into my bundle of neutrals in the main switch box. Ground (3) goes to green/ground terminal. Second traveler (5) to terminal marked YL/RD.
So with the above, I’ve been able to “rewire” each box to make things exactly as illustrated in the instructions for the coordinating remote with no LED. Only reason, that I could see, for it not working is the fact that I have the remote model with LED indicator. If I wire it up this evening and it doesn’t work, or anything is funky I’ll return the remote and get the one w/out LED indicator. No other reason this shouldn’t work, right?
Thanks for all the help!! Greatly appreciated. Took me a little while to get my head wrapped around how everything was wired. Every example/picture I looked at wasn’t quite right. I understand why the electrician did things the way he did and can’t even be mad at him. But it sure made things difficult for me.
