Is there a rule that light switches need to be at the entrance door.

Or just common sense

Yes,
There are some NEC and ICC codes that apply. If I had my books I could be more helpfull. The isue then becomes when was the house built. Most of these codes were written late 90's and 2003. Specific standars lay out switch max. height and Min height. Distance from door entrance at stairwell and bath/restroom areas.... Some apply to commercial/industrial and some to residential. Bob P. |

Distance from door entrance at stairwell and bath/restroom areas. They also spell out the landing size and door swing as well as hallway min. width. |

Now just to stir things up  does the NEC require that the switch for a bedroom be in the bedroom?
Can I locate the switch that controls the bedroom light in the hall outside the bedroom? Can I locate the switch that controls the bedroom light in the living room? Forget that the customer would flip out. |
