I'm looking to add a PIR to an existing Hallway Lighting Circuit. Although, I will be rewiring the lighting circuit (upgrading the cables) so have an opportunity to change things slightly.
The current circuit is a 3-way switching set up in quite a long hallway. My Wife would like to keep the switches as they are. But I would like to add a PIR that fits in the ceiling (2 actually, but lets assume one just now) to stop the kids leaving lights on.
My thinking is, that the PIR would either need to be a 2-way switch, or an intermediate in order for all the switches (PIR and Hard switch) to work together.
So my question is, can you buy such a thing? (Can't find one that jumps out on Google)
or,
How else could I make this work. One idea would be to buy a std PIR and use an 'Octo relay' wired as a make shift Intermediate switch. But would rather not have an energised relay tucked away in the loft.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
