The Wyze Switch accomplishes many things, but it is single pole single throw. If you require a 3-way switch, please comment on and/or vote for the existing [3-way switch topic](https://forums.wyze.com/t/wyze-3-way-light-switch/200404) and I’ll close this topic out.

BTW… a single pole double throw switch (SPDT) is a 3-way switch. The Wyze Switch is a single pole single throw switch (SPST).
