ext motion sensor and inside wall switch for one light
Can an existing outside light be controlled by both a motion sensor and an inside wall switch? Not sure how to approach. What sensor to select and how the 2 way would be wired if so.
Thanks for any feedback
Yes. It's done all the time. You can use the switch to bypass the sensor if you like, or just use the switch to turn it off completely. I like to leave the sensor hot all the time. That way if the switch is off, the light will still come on.

How does one wire it like this? This is what I am looking for. Suggest any sensors? Thanks for the feedback.
