Yeah, the SmartHome site makes it pretty clear that you need a neutral wire. Though, as I was trying to find that link, I stumbled across these "beta" devices:

I guess these were designed in response to users like me who would have to go through significant hassle to get neutrals to my switch boxes. Maybe I'll try those out. More expensive per switch, and two devices to mess with instead of one, but it sure beats having to rip out and re-patch drywall.

Unfortunately, they don't have a 2-wire version of the KeypadLinc dimmer which is one that I really wanted. If I want that one, I guess I'll have to bring in an electrician to do at least one of the switch boxes. smirk
