    Confusing wiring on two-way switch?

    Hi Everyone, Just joined after failing to find an answer on google. We have a two-way switch circuit for the lights in our living room - they work fine. Both two-way switches have a red wire going to the 'COM' terminal, a yellow wire going to the L1 terminal and a blue wire going to the...
