We have two outside lights (each is a typical double flood light) on the back corners of the house, wired together on the same leg. They are controlled by a total of four switches - one 4-way and three 3-ways. I want to swap out the fixtures for motion sensitive ones. When I got the new fixtures home and read the instructions, it said that you can't put more than one motion sensor light on a switch/circuit, due to possible "interference".
Can anyone think of a way to get both lights to be controlled by motion (and only come on at night - ie: a daylight-off sensor)? I don't care if they both go on and off together or if each is independent. I just want them to stay off during the daylight and come on in response to motion after dark. Is it possible to put in one sensor that would control the whole thing? (Note: if it matters, there are other items on the circuit, but not on the switch leg).
Not sure what this "interference" means. Is it the fact that when one light comes on, it might affect the "daylight" sensor of the other one, keeping it off? (That doesn't seem likely to me.)
TIA!
