[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 524074, member: 6969"] Surely the simple answer is 2 way switching for all the lights from both ends of the room. So they may have to turn off more than one switch as they exit, depending which lights are on, but at least you will then be able to turn them back on if you come in the front door and enter the kitchen from the other end. Point out the stupidity of their suggestion and try and persuade them to have normal 2 way switching. Or if the really must have the master switch idea, you need a second master switch at the other end of the room with the 2 master switches forming a 2 way circuit. No need for contactors. But I would expect most people to find that a confusing arangement. [/QUOTE]
