Installing a Aeotec Micro Switch G2 into a 4 way switch

I was wondering if anyone on here had a diagram to assist me with installing a Aeotec Micro Switch 2 to a 4 way light switch?

I don’t have a diagram (I suggest checking with Aeotech support.) but by any chance do you mean “4 gang“ rather than “4 way“?

In US terminology A four-way set up would have three wall switches controlling a single light fixture. In UK/EU terminology, a four-way set up, would have four wall switches controlling a single light fixture. (Rare, but possible.)

For example, you might have one switch at the top of the stairs and a different switch at the bottom of the stairs, which each control the same light fixture.

This is an x-way setup:

A 4 gang setup has four switches in the same switch box. Each switch controls a different device.

I’m asking because the wiring for these two situations is quite different. :thinking:

And here’s the link to Aeotec support.

I have 3 light switches that control 5 overhead lights.

Exactly what controls what?

Switch a
Switch B
Switch C

Light 1
Light 2
Light 3
Light 4
Light 5

And are all three switches in the same switch box (in which case that’s a three gang switch)?

Or are they in three separate locations?

All three switches are in different locations and control 5 lights in a hallway together as one light. I believe this is how they have it wired up.

That is indeed a four-way. I’m not sure if you can do that with the Aeotec model or not, again I would check with their support. :thinking:
