2-way wiring

[MC24]

I have a Greenbrook timer switch installed to operate the landing light from upstairs and downstairs. It has gone wrong and while I could replace it, I plan to dispense with it and use a conventional arrangement.

The Greenbrook is wired with one lead in the live terminal, two in the load and one in the 2-way.

My MK conventional 2-way switch is marked 1 (1 way), 2, and Com.

I assume that the two wires together in the load should go in the Com. Is that correct?

Thanks for any help.

That's a very strange assumption. There are many Greenbrook timer switches- exact model number or a pic of the back of it would be helpful.

Does it operate two lights?

Does it operate two lights?

Yes it does.

Model T40S

Do you have timer switches at both switch positions? That's an interesting circuit diagram....

I don't think we can be certain without more information.

Are there more wires in the back box of the switch in the picture? Is that the upstairs switch?
Can we have a picture of the other switch?

There seem to be several options.

Must be missing a yellow at the switch position?

Those instructions are a real dog's dinner.

Thanks for the help. I have sorted the problem.
