Question 1

I have a hardwired traditional 3 way setup with 2 locations, will this work?

Accepted Answer

Thanks for the question.  You replace the complete setup for that fixture.  To explain further: the D26HD will be installed in the primary location (controlling the fixture).  All other connected locations controlling this same fixture will require a DD00R (wired option) or DAWDC (wireless option) in order to control.  Cannot use existing standarddevices as these devices also have intelligence to keep track of light status.

Question 2

Does the 2nd generation plug still connect to 5gh?

Accepted Answer

No, it does not.  2nd Gen devices only work with 2.4 GHz networks.
