Kerim
Are you considering 3-way switches ?

Isn't it for 2 rooms only, that is for N=2?
I mean, where are the other switches?

baraka42
what about this ?
I can´t see other way to perform that control without use of electronic components munted in a central unit like that :

That´s just a representative schema.
All switches are connected to logic level inputs ( reference + signal return ).
Just after last output will be designed driver to control the bulb.
You can use for example a Triac to do that.

Kerim,
good puzzle from you .
i think i can't sleep well today.
The mains (grid) wires mean hot wire or neutral wire ?

.A "traveller" circuit with crossover respectively four-way switches is still the only solution, I assume.
Just google "4 way switch wiring". There are lots of simplified drawings.
Here's one: 4 Way Switch Wiring Diagrams | Easy to read wiring diagrams for do-it-yourselfers.

It seems like you didn't understand the operation of this elementary circuit. Of cause you can change the lamp status by operating any switch.The control performed at that topology is intended to change lamp status only when user cross each room sequentially.
I may be wrong, but KerimF is asking for a control wich change lamp status by changing any switch.
In fact, there is a problem of clarity with your initial post. But in my understanding, the circuit is exactly correspending to your specification. Perhaps you have special drawing styles in mind? There's however no other solution, as far as I'm aware of.By the way, I don't see 2 wires only between two consecutive switches as stated in post #1.
It's pretty clear, that the well-known 3-way/4-way circuit can be extended to any number of switches. What are you asking for?Do you I try google also for N>4, say "10 way switch wiring" for example?
Multiway switching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaFor more than two locations, two of the interconnecting wires must be passed through an intermediate switch, wired to swap them over. Any number of intermediate switches can be inserted, allowing for any number of locations. This requires two wires along the sequence of switches.
P.S.: Although the circuit is drawn with one 4-way switch, the extension option is clearly explained here.
