People don't always wire things the proper way. So yes you probably have
what you have described and this is not the proper way to do things. You can
of course fix it right.

Might need to run the correct wiring or have an electrician do this if you
want it to work properly.

Hello,

I just upgraded the swtich for my diner table light.

This light is controlled by 2 switch, one in the hallway and one
dimmer from the wall in the room itself.

When I took the switch out I noticed that the one in the hallway is a
3-way type (3 wires) but the dimmer has only 2 wires.

How can that be ???

I installed a new 3-way dimmer where the 3-way switch was and a new 2-
way switch where the old dimmer was.

Of course, everything still works since I did not play with the wires
setup.

Any info would help ...

Thanks !
