replacing 4 way switches with motion sensor ones.

[bbqbrisket]

I am beside myself. I am trying to figure how to connect the motion sensor switches with 5 wire setup to my existing 4 way. All the wiring in each switch is different. The motion switches I want to use is a Leviton DOS 15. See attached photos of switch wiring as is now. It goes with saying I would appreciate any help.. Thanks

PRETTY SURE you need to eliminate that traditional switch completely.

The Levitron DOS 15 works with other DOS 15 switches, but not sure if it will work with a traditional switch. The Yellow is the multi-pol lead that would get connected to the other DOS 15 switches on the circuit. Honestly things like this always end up screwing me up when I rewire existing circuits, and I've burnt out a couple fancy electronic switches (GE Sync). But I know the Levitron blue wire is your traveller. The Yellow is your multi-location/multi-sensor wire. Black, White, Green are all standard.

Here is a wire color guide (assuming you are in North America) to decode your home's wiring.

The Ultimate Guide to Wire Color Codes in Modern Electrical Systems

The way our electrical systems use colors isn’t just for looks. Each wire color now indicates a specific function, making it easier to identify and handle electrical components correctly during installation and maintenance. This not only speeds up operational processes but also reduces the...
