I have a client that has 3 banks of lights in their kitchen, each controlled from different switches. (A case of a home builder not understanding upgrade options)

The main section is controlled from one side of the room and has a 3-way on the other side of the room where the other 2 banks are controlled.

The desire is to have the single switch on the one side of the room control ALL of the lights.

Since there s already a 3-way switch connecting both sides of the room, I thought this might be possible.

THANKS!!

There is almost always a way relays

I say use a Lutron Spacer system, but that is just me. This way you can still individually control the separate banks, but have the option of controlling them all at once too. Or better yet, a RadioRA set up.

I have looked into the more technical options and they don not really want to go that route, the fear is that if they start, they will not be able to stop.

Any ideas on some options that would simply mean a rewire, like creating a 5-way switch?

RadioRA does that to you. I know first hand.

Electrically speaking it is possible. Are they all on the same circuit breaker?

smallman

Yes, they are all on the same breaker.

The entire house is Lutron Diva Switches, they would like to keep the same look and operation.

If linked, the total wattage would be 850w allowing the use of the Lutron DV-103P

Like I said, electrically it is possible. Any electrician with half a brain could do it. You will, however, have to blank off two of the switches.
