Weird light switch behaviour !!

[mjkermit]

I have an issue with a 2 way switch on the stairs and landing, replaced both switches to touch switches from standard toggle ones. Wiring from wall has a common, then a single black and red wires that went to l1 and l2 respectively.
The new touch switches have a L L1 & 2 way(signal) followed the instructions and wired common to L, black to the 2 way(signal) and the single red to L1,
Now I can turn the light on and off from downstairs no problem, when the light is on I can turn it off then on using the upstairs switch but only on fairly quick succession, after I turn it off using the upstairs switch I can then hear the bottom switch click off, once this happens the only way the light will come on is if I go downstairs and turn it back on,
Any ideas would be great !!!!

My switches come as master/slave what do your instructions say, knowing make and model will help.

Hi thanks for the reply, the switched are cnbingo/bseed touch switches from Amazon, doesn't say anything regarding master or slave in the instructions, just a simple wiring diagram

Ok. Show us the wiring you have done. Pictures of both switches needed!

It is clearly master/slave I have marked the picture. however I can't see how the slave can work, as there is no way for it to get power. normally we see three wires to the slave however each one is different, the TP-link version has batteries to power them, and the kinetic type uses the energy of your fingers, we no longer have one diagram fits all. I am sure there are more instructions, the one I have shown says at least 5 watt bulbs, a link to instructions or advert may help. it is possible it is just how they are linked, do they need a special app?
