Hello:
Could you tell me how can I have the bathroom light switch to turn on from 2 differents switches? :confused:

My bathroom is shared between 2 rooms. :rolleyes:

When I enter the bathroom from room # 1 I turn the light on.. it's fine.
If I exit from room # 2 I can turn the light off .. no problem.

But I f I re enter from room #1 the light won't turn on I have to go to the switch near the door of room #2 so I can turn on the light (I hope I am clear)

There is no problem during the day time but @ night it's a nuisance. :mad:

Please HELP me !!!!

Thanks,

It is possible that one of the 2 switches is bad or one of the traveler wires is on the wrong screw of switch of room 1.

good luck

Undo both switches.
1: How many cables at each switch
option one 3 at each switch
option two 3 at one swich 5 at the other.

read what is at each terminal L1 L2 com
different switches different markings.
Should be easy to fix if the wiring is in place .
Try and draw a diagram of connections.
