Motion Sensor Light Switch With Manual Override

This is done by turning the light switch off on off on in quick succession.

Motion sensor light switch with manual override.

This is a wiring diagram for a motion sensor controlled shop light led using a single pole double throw 3 position switch. In principle a simple light switch has two contacts which interrupt the current flow in the off state and pass it through in the on state. 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. I think the most common way to do this is with webcore which is a very sophisticated rules engine developed by the community.

The output of a motion detector is also a simple switch with the same functionality. Posted by supercres at 6 47 pm on march 24 2019 1 favorite the acuity wsx series has manual on off control. The light will then remain on and will not go off until you manually turn it off at the switch. If both switches are now connected in parallel the closed switch will always override the open switch.

Yes most sensors will have the ability to override the sensor function altogether and operate the light manually as necessary. The only thing this that you d need to turn the spst switch off and hit the manual override button on the motion sensor to turn the lights off immediately if you d previously had them held on. A switch on the fixture should read on time usually found directly under the motion sensor.
