    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

    I re-read the title once again, thought about it, and concluded that even though I may not be the guru of describing engineering concepts and such, it still summarizes the task I am facing pretty succinctly. I will try to describe the issues I am struggling with using a few more words -...

    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

    Regarding the "packaged solution" that was suggested in post #2 - http://www.simply-automated.com/documents/Datasheet_V3WAY-A_141215.pdf - I am put off by the notice at the bottom of the manual - "The Anywhere Series is not compatible with any of Simply Automated’s PC-Configured...

    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

    Not sure how you could possibly do it without linking all the switches involved in the 3-way or n-way scheme by an additional wire. All the manuals for equipment intended for such setup indicate that you need additional "Traveler/Control Wire" running between all the switches involved in the...

    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

    OK, clear as mud as one of my professors in college used to say.. 1. If I have to run additional wire between the three switches that I would like to "link" in a four-way switching setup - regardless of where the load is hooked up to - why do I need UPB or any other automation for that matter...

    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

      Would appreciate additional detail on how to "rewire the existing 3 way circuit." My current setup is probably one of these - https://www.homeimprovementweb.com/information/how-to/three-way-switch.htm (still need to check which one). Any suggestions on which make/model switches to pick would...

    Four-way switch without re-wiring anything - using UPB or?

    I have a three-way switching scheme (two standard rockers that control a chandelier) with no home automation of any kind. I need to convert that into four-way switching - with three rockers controlling that same chandelier. My aversion to wiring (sheetrock cutting, fishing the wires through...
