I was hoping to independently contol my motion lights with 2 in line lincs, one with sense (for the motion sensor) and another without (just for the lights). It seems as if the instructions want me to wire the red "switch-out" line from the ILL with sense to the lights. But I think I should not so that the ILL with sense does not trigger the lights to go on.

 

The ILL with sense will be a controller for not only this light but others but only under certain conditions. I had a post about those conditions earlier and without the sense working i do not know yet about the success of my programs but I am confident. It is the wiring that is frustrating now. I had those 4080XT sensors but they did not trigger the sense line and I tried a dual bright model, but I learned through another post that those are incompatable. So now I have some simple Health/Zenith SL-5411 and SL5412 that will go in tomorrow. But I wanted to know if I can just cap off the red "switch-out" from the ILL?

 

Thanks

Yes, you can simply cap off the red wire and just use the sense to detect when the motion turns on and off.

Thanks, I will try this today.
