Hi Guys,

I am doing a job where the customer has a pir sensor controlling an outside light. they say previously they used to be able to leave it on the sensor when switch was in the off position, and have the light permanently on when they switched the switch to the on position.

How would i go about wiring it????

What i was thinking is with a live and a neutral at the switch, i would using a 2-way switch send the 1way switch line to the live at the light to keep it permanently on, and the 2way switch line to the live at the sensor, making the light only come on when there is movement.

Am open to better suggestions???
 
Hi, I am trying get some info on adding a switch to PIR circuit - So that the switch keeps the lights on when on,
and when off the PIR works as normal.. I am looking for a drawing /diagram which shows me how this would be wired in order for it to work.

Wire the switch in parallel with the PIR.

That will work fine as long as the Pirs use relay switching, some don't.

I did consider this but ended up going with this one. I wired it inline with the lives and works great.
