Help with UPB 3way wiring

[hpservertech]

I am currently replacing all my x10 switches with UPB. So far it hasn't been an issue. Love the way I can link things. Will be keeping some x10 for places that dont matter much.

Running into a problem though with 3way. I know I can use 2 full switches, but would prefer to use the aux. switches for cost. Not to mention I picked them up dirt cheap. All my 2way switches are wired like this: http://www.homeimprovementweb.com/information/how-to/three-way-switch-option1.htm Where it is Power - Switch - Switch - Load. With the way I have them currently wired with X10 it looks like this: Power - XPSS - XPS3 - Lights

Can't seem to get the wiring done right to get the aux switch to work. This is the way I thought it should be: Power - HAL-RSR01 - HAI 35A00-3 - Lights

Any thoughts other then to use a full switch at both locations? I have 5 3way pairs to do and dont really want to use full switches when I dont really need to.

Thanks

Where possible I use Power -> Dimmer -> Remote -> Load but Power -> Remote -> Dimmer -> Load will work.

How are you connecting the various wires?

That is what I'm needing help with. Can't seem to get the wiring right. Ground not below as it is obvious.

Switch 1 (left->wiring, right->switch wiring):
hot (black) - black
Neutral (white) - white
Traveler (red) - yellow
Traveler (black) - red

Switch 2 (left->wiring, right->switch wiring):
Neutral (white) - white
Traveler (red) - white/brown
Traveler (black) - white/red
Load hot (black) - brown


Everything is working with x10 XPS switches, just can't seem to get the wiring right for UPB.

Oh, and if need be I can move the master to switch 1 instead of being switch 2. As long as things are Power-switch-switch-load I dont think it will matter much where the master is will it?

What is a HAL-RSR01?

 

[hpservertech]

It's a upb remote switch, same as the hai or smarthome ones.

Well I cannot find it so I can't match of the wiring colors to the HAI remote.

However (if it works like the HAI remote) the black traveler from the dimmer (switch 1 red wire) needs to connect directly to the load (black wire at switch 2)) and to the remote (switch 2 brown wire).

The power from the dimmer to the load doesn't go "through" the remote switch but it usually is connected to the remote switch to "power" the remote switch, lighting an LED.
