Wiring a staircase switch is actually very easy, you pretty much just need two wires going from one switch to another and then a light.
Your light switches also has to be three way switches but afaik most switches in my country are that, so you can pretty much use any switch.
I was gonna say lol that's a fancy way of describing three-ways
Fun fact, you can put as many 4-ways in between those 3-ways as you want, or as many as your electrician will agree to anyway. You can switch the same light from a dozen spots if you really want to.
I have no clue what that means. More diagrams plz?
This should help
Yeah, it does. Thank you! What did You create it with?
Oh I pulled that from Google, I just looked until I found the one that helped me grasp it.
"The light won't turn off! Now to hunt down the ONE SWITCH in the house that's flipped...hnngg...."
Troll electricianship would be hilarious entertainment.
I understand it now, but I'll have it forgotten in five minutes. I'm a software engineer, this here is dark magic to me. Well, not this, but more complicated stuff. I envy you all for your big, juicy brains.
Oh, I am no electrician. I an IT admin.
Being an electrician would be pretty high on the list of things to do if I weren't allowed to work in IT though. Seems fairly fun.
That's at least magic I understand kind of ๐
