Hi,
I have an outside light that I would like to add a PIR to while keeping the ability to continue to use the switch as normal, do I simply add the PIR in parallel to the switch as shown in my excellent high quality attached drawing?
Or will this damage the PIR when the light is turned on using the switch?
Just to be clear I am a DIY'er with a background in electronics, and will be getting it checked over by my sparky mate but he's crazy busy at the mo so don't want to waste his time if I can work it out myself as I have plenty of time on my hands from being covid-unemployed at the moment.
Thanks
