What issue does it cause having both the LED Switches Lights Functioning this way?

The yellow lead is the LED drive, so it receives power from the switch.  If you were running them crossed, it would be positive for one and negative for the other, it's bi-polar.  Even if you're running them in parallel, the polarity will probably not switch at exactly the same time, so you'll have a little fight between the leads.

On the command control question, I guess you mean to use the controller and yes you can parallel the red, green, and black. But the larger question is how to command control thema with the same command. I don't have any of those...I guess you can just make a route with two of them.

You would have to do it at the switch, or terminal strip as Dennis illustrated above. Besides, the insides of those controllers are a chore to deal with.

Gunrunnerjohn,

   That is what I needed to know, I can simply assign them the same TMCC # and both will activate at the same time in the same directions, as long as they were set in the same direction to begin with.  Now if I want to set this up to run in oppsite directions I would simply use the same TMCC number with the switches set in oppsite directions to begin with.  Is this how it would work John?

 

Mike real nice video sir!

Thanks, wasn't sure why!

If you want one to switch thru and the other to switch out with one button press, I think you'd have to wire them using something like the SC2.  I don't know how you'd get the command function to do that, there is no "reversal" feature.  The command feature just responds to the thru and out buttons on the remote.  Since TMCC is a one-way street, you can have multiple devices at the same address and they'll all react to the command.

DZ 1000's, with DZ 1002 switch buttons, and an SC-2.  There are two sets of button and the SC-2 all capable of switching (6) switches or switch pairs.  One switch is controlled by buttons only. The SC-2 will only control (6) switches.
One set of push buttons.

Second set of push buttons and the SC-2 controller.

Wiring complete.
The cable used has red, green, black and white wires.   
White is Yellow in the diagram.

With the DZ  Controllers the LED's can be re-positioned to indicate accordingly. That's why the picture shows the green lights staggeredThe LED's have been pulled and re-positioned to indicate the correct straight through as Green. Unfortunately you have to wire all as diagrammed. You would think you could just switch leads to reverse a throw to make the crossover work. You can re-position switch motors to get the correct throw but still may have to reverse diodes.
