Default 3-way switch question

How does that work? It would have to be somesort of relay in series that
shuts off the light. Seems expensive.
Or is there a simpler way?

Yes, well, sort of. You can get an illuminated three way switch. It's
handle is illuminated when the light is off, therefore if it's not
illuminated, you'd know the light is on

Is there a 3-way switch that has a light showing that the light (outside
and can't be seen form the switch) is on. I have an outside garage light
with 2 switches, one in the garage and one in the front hallway. From the
hallway you can't see if the light is on or not. Either switch can be in
the up or down position based on where it was turned on or off. (hence
3-way switch) Looking for some means to identify if the light actually
on.

Thanks
