wiring diagram for a 3 way motion light sensor
The following tools are needed to install a motion sensor light: 4-in1 screwdriver, voltage tester and a wire stripper. Also needed is a motion sensor light, elctricians tape and plastic.
Motion sensor/AccelerometerAmbient Light sensor
Motion detector alarm systems operate by using light sources. A beam of light is aimed at the light sensor and anyone who passes causes the sensor to register.
The advantages of having a motion sensor light switch are helping the environment and security for your home. Saving electricity helps save the environment, and a motion detecting light can help scare off criminals.
There are two ways to do it. The easiest is just to put a built-in motion sensor on the one light. The switch would have to be on for the motion sensor to work. If you just want the motion sensor to work without a switch, you need to run unswitched power directly to the light.
I have a outside motion sensor light and I need to re program the wall switch.How do I reprogram the wall switch? Thank you
In most motion sensor switches you will have three wires. A black, white and red wire. The black and white (neutral) are used for the electronics in the sensor. These connect to the incoming black and white power. Connect the lamp across the red and the white (neutral). When the sensor detects motion the red wire becomes "hot" and the light will go on.
Mine is still going after 10 years.
Either the sensor is not working properly or you have enough motion such as trees swaying, etc. to cause the sensors to constantly activate the lights.
A sensor is a device that is used to measure something and record it. It can measure heat, sound, light, frequency, or motion and respond to it.
Each fixture will have to have it's own motion sensor, then yes it will work.
