Hey all,

I have a 4 way regular combined light switches on my left, one of which turns on the kitchen light:

The problem is, my kitchen is on the right side of the hallway, so every time I have to go left to turn on the lights.

I would like to put an additional light switch on the right side of the hall, at the entrance to the kitchen, without having to drill the walls and put additional cable.

Is there some kind of wireless light switch paired with something I could put in front of my lightbulb cable that could work in complement to the existing light switch? I don’t want wi-fi solutions, it would be stupid not to be able to turn on lights when internet is down.

    I’m not sure what’s available for your style light switches. I have a similar situation, I have some of my kitchen lights on a switch on the far side of the room. I can program my zwave switches (both decora-style or toggle-style) to do a different command if they are either held or double or triple tapped. So, I have it if I double tap one, it will turn both that switch and the one on the other side of the room on.

      I didn’t think this would matter, so I pasted some random light switches I found on the internet just so people get the idea as I don’t know how exactly it’s called.

      Would you mind linking your example so I can investigate into more detail?
