I have a 2443-222 on/off module controlling my flood lights. My question is can I detect when the yellow sense 1 wire triggers the unit so that I can use that in a program? I want to know when just the yellow sense 1 wire turns on the lights.

Yes. I have a lamp post photo cell connected to one to turn my premise lights on at dusk.. Based on light level. Same could be done with a motion sensor.

When 120VAC is applied to the Yellow wire. With respect to the Neutral. The full manual would give you a good idea on how it is connected and works.

It it is a high impedance input. We have seen reports of some photocell and motion sensors. Using a triac and not a relay. Having enough leakage to falsely trigger the module.

Sorry I took so long to get back with you, the yellow wire is connected to a small relay. I have a PE cell controlling a small relay and then the relay controlling the 2443-222 yellow wire. I have done this because of PE leakage even when they have relay outputs. What I was wanting to do is control the flood lite time on with my eisy and not the PE cell, but at the same time I want to control the flood light with just my eisy. I am doing this now but without the yellow wire time on part, it is now being controlled by the PE cell. I can turn Food light on and off at will and the PE cell takes care of any motion control.

Thank you

I don't have a 2443 to look at but could you eliminate the PE cell and use a Sunset/sunrise  program to trigger the switch.  If you need motion you could add an insteon motion sensor.
