Hello- I have a curiosity about how the lights in our home work. I'm familiar with 3- and 4- way switches, but I know that isn't what we have in this case.
We are in europe living temporarily. There are latching relays (line voltage) in the power panel, and momentary contact switches. E.g., for the lights in the basement there are 4 switches w/ temporary contact.
In some cases, there are 2- switches that can be used to turn on or off the light in a particular room/corridor.. in other cases, there are 3.
I'm curious how this is all wired for a given 'light'... I've searched google and through this forum, and haven't stumbled across what I would expect... could someone 'dumb it down' for me, and provide a simple diagram?
Thanks much.
