New Circuit Off an Intermediate Switch Circuit

[EFLImpudence]

Guys, here are the two switches on my landing. Third switch is downstairs. Looks like I have fed my new cable to the third (top) switch in the diagram and not the intermediate.

Not sure why you are calling the top switch in the diagram the 'third', but ok.

Difference with my switch to the diagram is I have two neutral coloured cables terminating together too...

Nearly all cables have "a neutral coloured wire" - that does not mean it is being used as a neutral.

Can we have a better picture of the switch to show this and so that we can see which cables the wires come from?

It is possible to have a line. It’s the blue wires as shown in the diagram.

not sure I follow, sorry. The blue line is present through all switches...

I’m not, I’m calling the bottom switch in the diagram my which is located in my hallway whereas the other two switches including intermediate are upstairs on my landing (top and middle in the diagram). My new cable runs to the top switch in the diagram. See additional pics of switch where new cable has been ran to...

That looks promising.

I will have a study.

Here you go -

You will have four wires in one terminal.
If that is not possible, you could transfer one of the browns to the COM terminal in the new switch.
If you do, then use one of the brown wires that is from one of the brown and blue cables - not the brown/black/grey cable

Well yes.

But he wants to connect at the intermediate.

Brilliant! Many thanks @EFLImpudence ! That’s where I want to connect and my new cable has been ran to!

@AndyPRK - sorry I did say this morning that I had made an error in my original post and I had ran the cable to the final switch before the cables head off to the lights.

Still no neutral though.

That’s a blue wire. Are you sure it is not the link between top and bottom coms?

 

[AndyPRK]

Do you think efli would make that school boy error ?

It's not the intermediate switch.

There are three blues - plus an extra third brown in the L1 terminal - loop.

This is the intermediate switch across the landing which I’m not looking to do anything with...

Cheers @EFLImpudence !
