    Wiring three (3) motion sensor switches in a 3 way circuit
    I have a stair well with three landings, all with an over head hanging light that are all linked together. Each landing has a three way switch, three (3) in total. I want to replace all of these with a motion detector switch. Can you put three (3) 3 way motion detector switches on the same circuit?

    I think it may be easier with 3 single pole motion switches. Whicever senses motion will light all landings, will have to reidentify travelers.

    OK, I guess I do need some help. I had 2 3-way switches and a 4-way switch in the middle. I purchased three 3-way/2-way motion detector switches. I do not know how to re-wire each switch so it is now just a 2-way switch, I am confused :( Any help would be appreciated...
