Reply to comment by Domepiece9 in Can my motion detector porch light also be turned on and off by a switch? by Domepiece9

I believe You'd need a second set of cables or use third (ground) cable as a last resort.

If you connect the sensor to the switch you will be able to turn on/off the light but it will auto turn off after set period of time and go into motion sensing mode. That's how it works in my case anyway. Downside is I have to turn the switch off and back on to turn on the light.

Check out a couple of the other responses in this thread. It sounds like you can override that in some models.

Yeah, I've seen. I've got led lamps with built in daylight and motion sensors, rather cheap. I don't need them to stay on for longer periods so I just left it as is.
