I am familiar with basic lighting wiring. This setup is not for security but is for convenience. I just never installed an addon motion detector. Only installed those all in one units. Here is what I have currently. Garage is unfinished inside. 2 carriage lights on either side of garage door operated by a single switch (Did not buy the lights yet). I want to insert a motion detector between the switch and the lights. This is what I have read to do...
all whites together
power black --> motion black
motion red --> Fixture black
All grounds together
Please validate this wiring setup.
Also are there different types of addon detectors that i need to choose from?
(Given standard outdoor carriage lights)
Will the switch act as a motion override if thrown off then on within 3 seconds? Is this a feature of the motion detector i need to look for or is standard?
