Hot - traveler reversed on power side of the circuit.
That would create one condition where the light couldn't be turned on, this light couldn't be turned off.

...Act as a 3-way for 2 seperate sets of lights?

Do you mean that two sets of light were alternately being switched? First one, then the other?

First, was that a bra and socks on your 2 pole 3-wire dryer. [Linked Image]

As for the original post, duh, I have to draw this too..... No duh, your right, you'd still be able to shut off at the switch side.

Now for my $200 3-way. Reason is, 2 seperate tenant areas joined by a new stairway, each with its own metering. So circuits from one can not be mixed with the other, and some of the circuits are in existing boxes though closed walls in conduit. So what I did was send a switch wire back from each location to the panel room on each floor, which operates a 120 coil NC/NO relay, (acting as a 3-way between the two) that operates a LV relay on each floor that operates the lights on each floor. This was cheaper than running new conduit for seperate switching, and re-doing the boxes for divider cards. (Would have been a few thousand) And operates same as a regular 3-way control.
