If items and switches had been operating for at least a few moments, the most likely cause of the circuit failure was current overload.

The switch you came through will automatically operate only for me.

It had been stopped by some other control, some switch operated from above.

Then another switch beside the garage operates that door.

If the switches do not operate the outlet from both locations after restoring the power, reverse their positions.

The switches then operate different elements of the controlled system - for example motors, valves, etc.

Moreover, the resulting switches can operate at room temperature.

For example, if switches do not operate with the same clock rates, then slips will occur and degrade performance.

The light switch on the control panel operates both now.

The light switch operated a dim red lamp in the ceiling.
