Need to convert a single pole switch to a 3-way. Any resource

not an electrician but i'd say it would depend on how it's wired up already, also google https://www.familyhandyman.com/electrical/wiring-switches/how-to-wire-a-threeway-switch/view-all

unless you want to pull some new wire (not existing), then you could totally do it

>>1167455
if you cant run a new wire with three conductors, you can buy a remote three way. One part goes where the existing switch is, and the other part, which is radio controlled and has a battery, goes at the bottom of the stairs. Changing the battery sucks but if it is too difficult/impossible to run a wire it will do the trick.

Can run new wire, I think romex 14/2 is right? I basically just need to add a switch to an existing circuit. The ceiling and wall are already exposed, so wire is not an issue.

14/3 between the 3 pole switches

Thanks man. I'm also converting the existing flourescents to recessed lighting. Is there any reason to not just get a bundle of 14/3 and doing the whole project with that?

14/3 will cost significantly more and is harder to pull because it's thicker.

I would just use 14/3 between the two switches and 14/2 everywhere else.

>Idiots put a switch at the top of the basement stairs but not the bottom.

They weren't planning on NEETs living in the basement and needing the light off while still down there.

It's a finished basement, and my daughter wants to make it her suite so she has more space
