We just moved to a new house and there are few projects I'd like to do.
There are 5 external PIR security lights, 3 at the back and 2 at the front, neither of them have override swiches they are all wired directly to the ring up in the loft consequently when we're out in the garden we need to move to get any lights on.
I'd like to add a manual switch, 1 for the rear lights another for the front.

I don't want to have to add&chase in any new wiring just to add a swich to the porch or utility room, I'd rather have a remote to a base unit up in the loft, I'd also need it to revert back to normal operation after x minutes (in case i forget to put back in security mode), eg last night we had some sparkler fountains but couldn't switch off the rear lights to make it dark so I'm pushing this up my list of stings to do.

Cany anyone think of something that'd work for us? doesn't really matter if its prettyas it'd be up in the loft never to be seen again


thanks
