I don't take credit for this system, I learned it the hard way just like alot of others.
"How the heck does this work?" is what I said the first time I seen it.

While the threeway will work this way with three wires.
To operate the light on the house would require a fourth wire.

Done the right way it takes five wires plus the ground (metal conduit).

You would have an X-10 receiver/switch at the house AND the barn, set to the same house/unit code. You would have a transmittere at the house and barn, set tot he same housecode/unit code as the receiver switch in the house/barn.

Classicsat,
That is the beauty of X10, you can configure it as needed. Most of the house to garage systems use a receiver/timer cost about $19.00 and 2 X10 SP Switches and a Hard wire Lamp Mod. Saves time and material. More functions just add mod and code.
