    Controlling a light with 2 switches (3 way with 14/2 wire)

    Hi all, I'm hoping there is something I can do to make this work without having to run 14/3 from switch to switch. I've attached my simple sketch of what I am working with but essentially everything has 14/2 running to it and 14/2 goes switch to switch. From what I can tell this would be...

In the next moment (T=2) the output RF signal switches to another antenna (A2) to be...

    Help with installing a Zwave module in place of fan and light switches

    So, trying to do this has made me start to think that maybe I'm dyslexic, lol. I'm actually not kidding. Anyway, let me give a brief rundown of what I'm trying to do and (hopefully) someone can chime in and help me with this. I do a lot of electronic repairs and I've installed switches a bunch...

    LED Light Socket Dimmer switches?

    I have some really nice vintage type LED bulbs on some dimmer sockets I installed on several of my lights. The problem is they flicker, switch on and off when dimmed. Seems like there would be a lot of these sockets, but I can not find them anywhere. Amazon for example has a bunch of these...

    Smart switches without the cable

    In a nutshell, I'd like 2 way switching with smart switches, but rather than running a cable between them to link them I imagine it'd be a lot easier to link the 2 switches via events/triggers on the smart app. I have this already where I turn one light on I've configured it to turn another one...
