  There are wireless switches now, so you don’t have to run wire. If you will be using both switches then you may have to change the existing one to a three-way type, but check the wireless switch instructions or specs to verify.

I think there is a little more than that to it. With another switch already connected it may need a certain switch 2 pole or 4 pole switch. That's where it gets tricky. Thanks for commenting with an answer.
