Interesting three way conversion to two way and swap for time lag.

Ok just to stop all speculation I installed sensor lights and arranged a permanent live and blanked off all switches. Sorry if you found this frustrating. As I intimated you would get to the point that it can't be done as you do not have enough cables and you would have to think of something else. I did not want to say this as I thought maybe some trainees would try to work it out. But there you go. Oh and I did not say I got it working with master and slave. I just said I got it working and thought outside the box. I was trying not to say what I did do. Anyway there is no way to get the live up to sw. 2 and 3 with returns for both as there are not enough cables. Hence screw all the above just fit sensors. Unless you want to go and find the mythical junction box which believe me you would not want to given the possible location and circumstances.

You could of just used standard time lag switches and got it working.

Yes I agree you could get it working but that would be based on the premise that the yellow is the sw. return. Logic says it is but empirical evidence does not confirm that so bang test it is then and who cares where the red cable goes from sw. 1 common. (Joking!)

You've given the game away. This is the existing wiring not the plan. The plan is what to do with it to get to Master and Slave on 1 and 2. I will tell you what I actually did before too long.

I hope you put brown/red sleeving on all the switchwires/strappers

I've missed most of this,as i had to transport a goat,a fox and a chicken,to an island,using a boat and specific guidelines...

How did it go?
