Intermediate pull switch

[maltaron]

The bungalow I moved into 2 years ago had no two way switches in the bedrooms and a loft conversion makes access difficult to switches etc. As the switches were all wired in 3core + earth and I could get at the light from above, I converted to two way by rerouting the 3 way cable to a two way ceiling switch, together with feed and load. Now, in the main bedroom it is possible to put the bed in different positions, so I want to add an additional ceiling switch. As I cannot get to rewire the wall switch I cannot just change that to an intermediate. Any suggestions? TIA

never seen one and google doesn't seem to be turning anything up.

using a relay could be an option.

You've answered your own question: intermediate pull switch. If you can't find one, just use a 2 way pull switch. You won't have the bed in two positions at once, so wire the two 2 way pull switches in parrallel with each other.

Adding a third switch in paralell to the two two way switches in a pair will NOT have the desired affect.

Yes, you're right. Ignore that suggestion. Wasn't thinking!
