Im just a bit baffeled how I will wire up to switch on my hall and stair lights as they are on a two way switch (one upstairs and one downstairs) any advise will be amazing

Thanks in advance!

What lamp modules do you have. As there are some that can't be used for 2 way switching.
Here is a link on how to wire up an X10 micromodule to a 2 way switching system. Or here is another one

I did it differently and just connected the switches in parallel.

Thanks for the reply, I havent bought any yet for the main lights which ones do I need to buy as ideally want to keep my orginal swithces or is that not possible? Will I have to alter the house wiring or will it be already wired up correctly?

Sorry for all the questions have very limited electrical know how!!!

Hi, I wanted to keep my original switches so used the micromodules form Automation@home.

They are slimer and quieter than the 'normal' x10 AW12s. The only problem I encountered was that every time I tried to wire a 2 way switch (as per the instructions) the circuit tripped! This was a minor blip as I solved it with a sensor instead.
