Help with bathroom 3-way dimmer and switch
In my bathroom is a dimmer that controls all the bathroom lights. It doesn't turn of, but if you turn the knob all the way down it's off.
In the bedroom next door there is a normal light switch that also controls the on/off lights to the bathroom. It's a 3-way switch.
The bedroom has it's own switch for the bedroom lighting, that's ok.
Right now if you turn the dimmer on or on a bit you can turn them off from the next room with the switch. If the dimmer is all the way down, I'd like to turn the lights on (full) by flipping the switch on the room regardless of the bathroom's dimmer switch.
The switch is pretty much useless now for turning on the lights because naturally, if the lights are off the dimmer's all the way down. It's only good for turning them off. Then if I go to turn on the lights from the bathroom after that happens, they don't come on because the bedroom's switch is off.
Is there a way to turn on the bedroom switch and have the lights go on regardless of the bathroom's dimmer setting? I'm thinking there's not because if that were to happen, and the bedroom switch is set on (and the bathroom was on full) the dimmer wouldn't be functional anymore.
I think I'm just going to replace the dimmer with a 3 way switch.
