    Two lights, two switches, single feed
    Hi, I'm planning on rewiring a non-working porch light. The inside switch for this light is in a two gang box with a switch for a kitchen light. I'd like to rig the porch light on a three way switch (so the porch light can be controlled from both inside and outside) to a hot lead that is also powering the kitchen light. I found another post that described how to do this for 2 two-way switches. Can anyone tell me how to do this for a two-way switch (for the kitchen light) and 2 three-way switches (for the porch light)? Or perhaps suggest a reference that might contain a wiring diagram for this type of set up? Thanks.

    3 Way Switch Wiring Options

    I cheated. I wanted to turn on/off an exterior porch lite from the porch, the car and the inside of the house. X-10: Wall mounted control in the kitchen. Keyfob in the car and X-10 switch on the porch light.
