Another 3-way switch conundrum - 07/07/07 03:15 PM
Here's the situation:
Contractor builds addition. Homeowner wires it - calls me to fix it.
At house entrance to the room - 1 gang box; 14/2 feed,
14/3 to 2 gang box on other side of room,
14/2 to light in center of room.
At outside entrance to room - 2 gang box;
14/3 from other side of room
14/2 to outside light
No feed for outside light! - need to get a feed over there! No access to attic or basement, and room is finish painted and trimmed.
I've looked at some X-10 solutions, but none seem to fit the bill. I'll end up with only one conductor available between the two boxes.
I thought there was an X-10 solution that would work as long as I had power to both modules, but can't seem to find one. Also, most of the X-10 stuff I've looked at is decora style - customer prefers "old fashioned" toggle appearance to match rest of the home.
Thanks! and appreciate your help!
