Scenario: You have a room with 2 segments. Next to each door is a switch that can only control one room segment. However, you want to operate shading up and down from both switches (A = Window, B= Skylights). 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 shading A1 (purple) from door 3 and door 4. It must apply to the window blinds (A) as well as skylight shading (B). Any brightness and presence detectors must also be linked as per the new requirements.
