I currently need the schematics for a 5 way switch set up for my mbr
At the moment i have a 4 way switch set up
there are currently switches at each door leading into the room plus one above the head board & they control a light in the centre of the room
We are installing a new king size bed that is 80″ across & 61 ” high thus making the current swith above the head board inaccesable on the new one
As a result i would like to install a switch at each end of the head board done to code if possible , thanks in advance for any help given !

There is no such thing as a 5 way switch, except for something like multiple speed fan switch.
The "way" term is confusing, relates to the number of terminals on the switch and does not accurately reflect what it does.
For controlling from 2 locations you use 3-ways.
For 3 you have the 3-ways with a 4 way between them.
For more locations you just add more 4 ways in the middle.
The wiring connections are the same.

What Bill said -- just add more 4-ways in the middle.

Tells about it. My wife got an iPod touch yesterday. Everything that I have on
my phone that she rolled her eyes at and shook her about before is now the coolest thing ever. First thing she wanted was the level.
I know, if I can't find my fone, Rosiee has it in the kitchen listening to Pandora on the oold computer speakers I set up in there. She has Nina Simone as a station.I saw the masons on the job fiddling at the brick wall and set my phone level on it, the fone is more accurate than their 2' box level. I check it with a smart level, the fone is really accurate if ye don't move it around.Ugg, off to work soon, an I got a cold...yeay. 25 this morning here in the valley. cough, wheeze, atchoo.Spheramid Enterprises Architectural Woodworks

Clapper..........Bedroom.There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.(-:
The major difference between death and taxes is that Congress can't make death any worse than it is.
Careful Boss... There's an even better joke in your post.

Or, use low voltage switching and relays. Unlimited number of switches, computer controlled if you want.
Google RR7.
Have probably 60 of those type relays in own house with a few hundred switches, control anything from anywhere, simple diode logic any combination of lights from anywhere. Have a panel in the BR and kitchen to turn all on or off, select any, etc. etc.
Installed before PCs, never did get around to tying into the computer in own house. The factory lighting and HVAC is all controlled from any facility engineer's laptop.
" google RR7 " could you explain that better for a non techie
