I have eliminated a lot of this "3 way" confusion in my house with motion/occupancy detectors. You seldom turn on a light switch unless you want task lighting. The motion system makes sure you always have "walking around" light everywhere, inside and out. It is all fairly soft light. This started years ago when I figured out the girls were using the fridge for a night light. My first motion light was in the kitchen/dining area that also gets you from the front and back door. It went on from there. Now the light just follows you around the house.
