Multi zone motion sensor

[pimp-boy]

Does anyone know of a multizone motion sensor for outdoor lighting? I have lights on the left and back side of the garage. I want to have a motion sensor in the back and another one on the side of the house but have the ability to turn on all the lights from either sensor.

Thanks for your help!

i have to think it through but you could probably get it to work using a pair of relays (sensor A turns on lights A and Relay A, relay A turns on lights B; and vice versa)

Sick sensors have a laser scanner that allows 3 zones. You can program it to look around objects blocking areas. Would be pricey for home use though.

Using all three of these modules will give you what you want. It will do a lot more than you're asking but this is just a teaser . . .

I have not tried this but it should work. Wire both lights from the same 120V circuit with a piece of three conductor wire between the light fixtures. Wire the output from both sensors to the RED wire and connect the lamps to the RED wire also. If either sensor trips both lights should go on.

I have done this and it will work but watch the wattage of the fixtures!! Since your running both fixture luminaires (lamps) through each individual P.C. (photo cell relay), the relay contacts must be rated for the additional fixture wattage. Some fixtures such as the 100-300 watt quartz type motion sensors won't handle the added wattage.
