A wired-in 4- or more-way circuit (with three or more switches) has additional switches added in the
middle of the circuit. In the diagram below, the additional switch (Switch 3+) is shown in two different
positions, since wiring can vary from home to home.
To learn more about multi-way circuits, go to your preferred Internet search engine and enter the search
terms “3-way switch” or “4-way switch.”
Using ToggleLinc in Virtual Multi-Way Circuits
You can use ToggleLinc modules to replace switches in multi-way circuits that are already wired in or to
create multi-way circuits where there is no existing wiring. These are called virtual multi-way circuits.
In a virtual multi-way circuit, only one ToggleLinc (called the ToggleLinc Primary) is actually connected to
and controls the load. Any additional ToggleLinc modules (called ToggleLinc Secondaries) are only
connected to the powerline via the Line and Neutral wires. All the ToggleLinc modules can communicate
with one another using INSTEON networking on the powerline. After wiring in the ToggleLinc modules,
you can create a virtual multi-way circuit by setting up all of the modules to control each other. The
diagram below shows how you convert a wired-in 3-way circuit using two ToggleLinc modules.
Note: Actual location of the ToggleLinc wires may differ with product revision or model.
