Hello everyone,
a question about electrical wiring.
I have 3 lights that I want to control from 3 different locations.
So, a four-way switch setup.
There are switches with two rocker switches. Is it possible to achieve this setup with only 2 switches?
1 switch with two rockers and
1 switch with a single rocker
?
Or do switches with two rockers not work if you have a four-way / intermediate switch setup?
I want to know if I can save one switch, or if I actually need 3 switches.
Thanks!

I have 3 light fixtures and 3 locations where I can control ALL 3 lamps individually. So, the three lamps should be controlled independently from all three locations?

The key point was that one of the two-way switches is actually a double rocker switch. But then you need to assign a different lamp to the single intermediate switch at each control point. I wonder how long it will take for the residents to remember which switch operates which lamp from which location?

It is called a double changeover switch or a series changeover switch.

It looks like a standard switch on the outside, but you have two independent switches in one box. So you save one space.
