Hi guys, I just purchased the above mentioned sensor and now am planning to attach it to the switches for my 2 porch lights which is located also in the porch. My problem/question is: 1. How do I do the wiring? Both the switches are located in the same place. 2. Since its in the lights are also in the porch when it gets dark and the light comes on, wont th eenvironment becoem bright and teh light goes off bue to teh bright environment? DO i have to hide the sensor? Did not think it would be complicated but slowly what seemed like a simple solution is becoming complicated. Thanks in advance fro feedback. Crow. P.s Maybe easier to call an electrician?

I have two porch lights and each have their own switch PIC taken from : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1583881/allThis post has been edited by crow190569: Jun 17 2013, 01:53 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

Refer to below self explanatory diagram.  • Easy to DIY. • Minimum modification. • Utilize existing two switch. • Selectable Auto Mode or Bypass Mode. Happy DIY!

You love it at your porch or backyard. Make the sensor is under an awning or roof protected fro sun. It'll last easily 10 yrs for a device which cost only $25
Most of my neighbors used this after I installed it
