    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 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.
