Intermediate switches please help!

[R1nutty]

Hi people
hoping someone can answer my question on whether or not the following is possible;

i have 3 kitchen lights with the light (switched) lives each going to 3 different switches.

i then have a 3 core and earth wire going between each switch, so basically your standard 2way switching with an intermediate in the middle.

the problem I am having trying to work out is how to control all 3 lights from any 1 of the positions when the light feeds are all going to different switches!!
Each switch also has a permanent live and neutral going to them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try drawing a wiring diagram for the lights first. You say you have a neutral going to the switch.. Is this connected to the switch or just fed through with connector clock

Connect your switched lives to the 3 core brown in each switch

(This means 3 browns at the intermediate with a connector block
Then black and greys on the incoming and outgoing as normal


At one of the 2 way switches connect the incoming live to common of 2-way switch
Connect Black to outgoing + connect Grey to other out going
Connect switched live to brown in a connector block

The other 2 unused lives in the other switches can be ditched



At other 2 way connect grey to outgoing,connect black to other out going
Connect the 2 Browns of switched lives to common of this 2 way switch
