Can I install Fibaro Dimmer 2 into 2nd switch of 2 way setup

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help me out!

Looking to add a Fibaro Dimmer 2 into a 2 way light setup - hall down lights switched from two places at opposite ends of the hall.

One end (the master end of the 2 way circuit) the switch is in a 3 switch plate with 2 other switches controlling other lights (tons of cables and no room for the dimmer without masses of work)

The other end is a nice simple single switch with tons of space.

So what I’d like to do is install the fibaro module at that end.

I’ve been looking at...

Which shows it being installed at the master end but trying to work through in my head if its possible to install at the other end.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
Noel

Try this link, http://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?f=113&t=18950, for some info which might help. Another option would be to change the switches to momentary ones but you'll need to get a neutral from somewhere to the 2nd switch as I see it.

Thanks Colly appreciate that. Confirms that I do need to locate the dimmer in the congested switch however I have a solution. I use click minigrid faceplates and modular switches so will order a 2 gang 6 slot faceplate, put three switches next to each other and 2 blanks which will give me the space for the dimmer behind the blanks.

On the upside they’re crazy cheap :)

I buy from click4electrics here in the U.K.
