I'm at wit's end trying to install a Leviton Decora smart 3-pole switch (DW6HD-1BZ) and dimmer remote DD00R-DLZ. After much trial and error, I finally got the main controller to control the light, but the remote dimmer control does not work. Also, it appears that the controller is limiting voltage to ceiling fixture (which has two LEDs), because they are not as bright as they were previously.
The dimmer box had three wires, black, red, and white. I think the white wire was connected as “line,” because it was wired to the black screw on the original switch. I thought it was neutral, but there was a bundle of neutral wires pushed into the box. Once I added a jumper wire to that bundle and connected it to the remote dimmer neutral input, the light begin working (previously, it did not). But the remote dimmer still refuses to function. Based on a Youtube video, I placed the pre-existing white wire on the same post as the black traveler wire, and the red is on another post. This mirrors the original setup, in which the red and black were configured as travelers and the white wire was line. As it stands, the main dimmer switch will dim the light, but the remote does not. Any assistance someone can provide would be greatly appreciated. I've spent hours going back and forth to the breaker figuring out which wire is which.
Dimmer Remote
Neutral
Red Traveler
Black Traveler
White (common?)
Main Dimmer
Black Line
Load
Neutral
Red Traveler
Black Takeoff (powers another fixture, not sure if it's daisychained to remote dimmer as well?)
