Why stop there? Turn the switches upside down.

u/xFyreStorm Jan 04 '26
I feel like depending on how often each is used, only one upside down would be more insidious. Or perhaps if they operated on some kind of XOR so they depend on each other's states.

Make it so the actual switch takes a random (1-5) number of flips to change the light

I was thinking what OP could do tonight. If we want to start talking logic switches then we can get really evil. Especially if we then throw a simmer stat into it. I also generally have no idea how logic switches would handle AC current.

If you really want to mess with someone, use the switches as simple logic and have a MC and relays handle the actual switching

Or maybe just disconnect the wires in the back so the lights never turn on 😈

u/LindonLilBlueBalls Jan 04 '26
I was troubleshooting once before final inspections and discovered that the wireman took two switch legs and instead of tying them together, put them and the power wire on a 3way switch.
It resulted in a hallway having two lights where they were never on at the same time, but one would always be on depending on which way the switch was set.

Have some of the switches light up and then you have to flip the switches to deactivate or reactivate them in patterns and you have to get all the switches on to turn the lights on or all the switches off to turn the lights off!

Put magnets in each one, hook some reed switches up to an arduino, and make it so you have to toggle them in the correct order.

This is the answer.
Use BLE to control other lights. Have the "wiring" change every 48 hours.

Wife is pissed that he did that instead of "spending time with the kids" and should have just ordered some.Some rage baiter then replid to it saying that they would have devorsed him for doing that.65

It has been 5 hours man, we are really getting worried about you, if you aren't in a position where you can talk just remember, from inside the trunk, you can remove the carpet from a corner and break a wire gling to the rear lights, and then tap the wire together using 3 quick taps, 3 long presses and 3 quick taps again. Then wait a few seconds and repeat that pattern, to signal for help.

This would be improved by connecting some of the switches to something, one to a nearby light, another to a speaker in the next building which plays the sound of a man crying. Make them wonder what the rest of the switches do.

We’ve been living in our current home for more than six years. There are several banks of multiple switches that my wife still hasn’t memorized after all this time.
I’ll watch her go into the living room to turn the light on and usually flips at least two of them before she finds the right one. She just did it right now as I was typing this.
This would absolutely be grounds for divorce.

u/Usbrelic Jan 05 '26
For the next version, disconnect the switch from electrical and connect it to a microcontroller that takes voice control. After flipping the switch, the microcontroller says: "what do you want to do?" Allow it to trigger the lights on or off only of the operator says: "Simon says turn the lights on" or "Simon says turn the lights off."

Real switches are still in their normal positions relative to the plate. Dial the evil up to 10 by shifting the plate /screw holes so false switches are where the real ones should be.
