I have a three way light switch at the top of my stairs with the second switch located at the bottom of my stairs. The problem is, these switches also control the downstairs hall lights that go beyond the stairs, and the poor logistics of having to back track to kill the hallway light irks me to no end. So my question is this: Can I somehow get a light switch at the end of my hall that can work wirelessly from the downstairs switch? Can this be done without replacing the upstairs switch? Is this possible? I know there is new technology out there, but googling is not answering my questions and I really don’t want to bust into my drywall. Thanks for any help!
I think you may need a break if you are moving a fixed object wirelessly. Doesn’t sound like a hobby anymore.
Lutron caseta is the thing you’re looking for

And the pico remotes can be mounted to look exactly like the switch but anywhere you want. They are battery powered but last insanely long time.
Looks like this solution needs a hub. Are there similar products that run over wifi and don’t require a hub? A brief search found nothing…
Two smart switches will do the job. Most smart switches (eg Zooz Zen71) support three-way wiring, so you can replace the switch at the bottom of the stairs with the smart switch, leave the switch at the top of the stairs, and you’ve retained your existing functionality - but now it’s smart.
Then you can install a second switch at the end of the downstairs hall and program it to join the same group as the first switch. They even make battery versions in case you don’t have power near your new box (Zooz Zen34)
Install one smart switch at the end of the hall downstairs, wired for power but not connected to any load. Replace
Thank you very much for taking the time to reply. That sounds like it would do just what I am looking for. I will look into it further!
