    Firstly - an error in art, secondly - there are plenty of diagrams of stair connectors and ways of connecting them on the Internet.

    There should be no yellow-green wires in the wires between the switches (because this is the color of the protective wire and it should only be used for this purpose) and blue wires (which is dedicated as the N wire). You can find the "staircase" connection system on Goggles.

    Can this be combined into stair lighting? From what is?

    You need to determine /mark in the photo/ which wire is the power supply, which is for the bulb or for the second connector

    To be more precise, they should be apart from three working conductors, i.e. a five-core cable.

    There. 4 wires will be enough.
    Like here:

    From left :
    - single connector
    - double cross + lamp/chandelier
    - cross
    - cross
    Of course, on "both sides" there are stairs (also double), power supply, lamps, etc.
    Three lamps (including one chandelier) can be controlled from three different places.
    What fun :D

    Tadek67, add a comment on how to mask this botchiness, using a marker or heat shrink. :|

    zbich70. Right, but what is he supposed to do? Rip out the wires? Man wanted to cope with what he had.

    Either he botched it himself or some pseudo-electrician did it. It`s worth at least threatening someone like this with replacing the cable at his expense.
    And on the forum you need to condemn bungling and pay attention to reserved vein colors.

    Thank you Co Tadek, I bought such an apartment and a pseudo-electrician from the developer laid the cables. Thank you again.

    It`s not. A bistable relay, e.g. Zamel, and two monostable so-called bell switches.

    Wait, were there really supposed to be staircase switches in the plans? Or is this your imagination?

    Yes. My imagination. Is there any contact on the stairs? I've already got it sorted. Topic to be closed.

The original poster seeks guidance on wiring, mentioning a power cable, a lamp cable, and a cable from a second switch. Responses highlight the importance of correctly identifying wire functions, emphasizing that yellow-green wires should not be used between switches, as they are reserved for protective grounding. Diagrams and examples are shared to illustrate proper connections, with suggestions for using a five-core cable for more complex setups. The conversation also touches on issues with previous wiring done by a developer's electrician, leading to a resolution where the original poster confirms they have sorted the issue with assistance from the community.
