I need to install parallel switches to a couple of lights. And so you
don't think I mean a common 3-way switch, I want this behavior:

Both on: lights on
A on: lights on
B on: lights on
Both off: lights off

This is just (A OR B) logic.


I can't quite visualize your description. Here is my attempt to draw
it: (fixed font suggested)


------------------------------------------
| |
X switch X timer
Hot (black) | | to
----------------------------------X timer defeat load


Neutral (white)
-------------------------------------------------------


Ground (green)
-------------------------------------------------------


Is this what you want?
