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.

    Philips hue wall module could be set to control a smart light and since it’s battery powered need no electric wiring to it.

        Yes, or a smart module. Or a smart plug. I’m half way through a renovation and it’s all been pretty confusing. I also have a Homey Pro and I’m not sure if that’s needed for the functionality I described.
