Google 3-wire light sensor diagram, then google 2-wire light sensor diagram. See what each goes to and figure it out yourself. Would have been faster than this essay you wrote.

I did that first but none of the results fit this scenario. I'm not trying to put a 2-wire sensor on a 3-wire outlet/fixture -- that's what's in place now. However, capping the red wire in the outlet/fixture has disabled the path lights and gate light and I'm trying to re-enable them, as well as seeing if I can set the path lights up to come on when someone comes out of the gate to head back to the driveway.

The guy up there who said the other line was the hot for what’s not turned on is most likely right. Post a picture of the sensor you bought or put up a link, it’d help
