Disabling a PR511
« on: August 12, 2010, 10:58:11 PM »

I have a PR511 hooked up via a leviton 16400 switch, where the motion sensing at dusk still works, but I can also turn it on and off manually.

I am wondering if there is a way to easily disable it's motion sensing, say if your sitting outside with just your party lights on or in the dark, and you don't want the bright security lights to come on...

thanks in advance...

I used a separate WS467 co-mounted with the PR511. The WS467 had a separate address and controlled the lights of the PR511. When the PR511 turned ON anytime there was motion (day and night) the home control system decided whether the WS467 should be turned ON, based on conditions. One of my conditions was a the status of a "phantom address" which acted as a "permissive" if ON.

Well, you could just unscrew the bulbs.  ;)   :'
