Title: motion sensors
Post by: artk on October 04, 2006, 07:17:47 AM

I have a MS13A motion sensor to control my garage light (N1). Problem, when it detects motion it turns on the garage light (N1), thats OK, but turns off another light in the garage (N2), that not OK. Is the only fix to change the code on the second light?

When using most X10 motion sensors it is necessary to use every other unit code. If you carefully read the instructions you will see that the motion sensor sends out an on or off command with changes in light. This happens on the unit code +1.
