Motion Sensor Light Switch With Manual Override

Using this wiring set up you can override the sensor to be off all the time on all the time or controlled by the motion sensor.

Motion sensor light switch with manual override.

Posted by supercres at 6 47 pm on march 24 2019 1 favorite the acuity wsx series has manual on off control. I think the most common way to do this is with webcore which is a very sophisticated rules engine developed by the community. This is done by turning the light switch off on off on in quick succession. A switch on the fixture should read on time usually found directly under the motion sensor.

The output of a motion detector is also a simple switch with the same functionality. This is a wiring diagram for a motion sensor controlled shop light led using a single pole double throw 3 position switch. If you are unsure find the switch by testing all the available switches before you fiddle with the on time button. Yes most sensors will have the ability to override the sensor function altogether and operate the light manually as necessary.

If both switches are now connected in parallel the closed switch will always override the open switch. Set it to any position aside from the test position and flip off the switch that the light is connected to. The light will then remain on and will not go off until you manually turn it off at the switch.
