    Halls lights connected to 2, 3-way switches came on middle of night
    During the middle of the night the hall lights came on. I got up flipped both swtiches, either end of the hall and nothing happened, they stayed on. Turned off circuit breaker went back to bed. Bought two new 3-way switches, swapped out old, same issue, the lights won't turn off. Never had this issue in the 5yrs since the lights were installed.
