I replaced my flood lights, so I bought new ones with built in motion detectors. They are "smart" enough to work with only a hot and neutral. They work because you leave the switch on all the time. The controller board then will turn the lights on when it detects motion, but it will also allow you to manually turn the lights on by switching on/off the switch.
I would like to add the same type motion detector to my garage lights. I assume the best way will be to remove the switch leg from the existing light and move it to a new cut in box where I can mount the sensor, and then go from the sensor back to the existing light.
Anyone here retro fit their existing lights? My existing lights are expensive and I would like to keep the existing ones. The lamp cover mounts over the entire fixture so adding a motion detector to the existing fixture's base is out.
Anyone opted for a wireless method?
