Reconfigure Lighting Control

Scenario: You have a room with 2 segments. Two switches (panels) are available for each door in this room, but they can only control one room segment. But you can only control one lighting A1 from this switch. However, you want to be able to turn the lighting on and off for the entire room from both doors. To do this, you must link door 3 (red) and door 4 (blue) as well link door 4 (blue) and door 3 (red). After linking, you can switch lighting A1 (purple) from door 3 and door 4. This must occur for each of the four switches and in both directions. Any brightness and presence detectors must also be linked as per the new requirements.

Lighting control is only possible at the corresponding door

Lighting control in parallel from door 3 and door 4 is possible
