Great explanation on the electrical circuit for regular people. Thank you.

[@ronaldgultom6740]

Your guidance and explanation It's very clear and easy to understand, cheers..

[@ecologicaltime]

thank you

[@martinlacey3611]

Good and clear instructions for the novice to do this, now simple, job. Thanks

[@kentucky4696]

Helped me figure out that i straight wired the light an motion sensor together...i feel stupid now lol...I was wounding why it wouldn’t go off. Thank u!

[@paulbradford8240]

Nicely explained. I'm about to do this for a new outside light fitting.

[@tno2007]

I just bought this exact same PIR34 at Builders, this video is really appreciated.

[@melvis2017]

thx for the beautiful explanation your are professionnel

[@ecologicaltime]

thank you!

[@jonnygarland4741]

🤔👌👏I am just NOW learning all I KNOW RIGHT NOW is ONLY 0 THANK YOU ! so so much👍

[@rizwanrafeek3811]

Gee, awesome tutorial.

[@RuhRohRaggie069]

Here in the states black wire is the hot, white is ur Neutral, & Green is ur Ground in AC household etc...

[@sunshine7453]

I have learned a lot from you. Thank you!

[@ecologicaltime]

My pleasure!

[@TNTCollectables]

Thank very informative video great job

[@08regman]

Thanks mate, such an informative video. How come there is no ground/earth wire connected to PIR and light fitting ? Is it possible to replace the PIR unit with a floodlight ? Cheers

[@cygnus108]

Very informative....thanks for posting...just what I need.

[@nikhilasoni1]

Nice Explanation. Learned a lot of things from it.

[@ecologicaltime]

thank you

[@youlittlerocket]

@@ecologicaltime My man, can I not just wire said light straight into the main fuse board?

[@davidmcneill1076]

Really helpful and clear explanation. Thanks.

[@rodrigoaceves1484]

Good explanation! Thank you for the video...

[@fst1775]

Awesome video I will probably do this in my garage too!

[@ecologicaltime]

thanks

[@jungresos8177]

Ser how many light of one motion sensor

[@fst1775]

Up to any really as long as it does not exceed a certain wattage rating check the instructions.

[@andrewcharles929]

Wow i understood every part of it...

[@tinotendanhetekwa3355]

thanks boss i have learned

[@shamsuldeenmayalib3305]

great explanation

[@Reaganmulenga-k2u]

Good explanation

[@andyoneill5878]

Great video, really helped me 👍

[@andrewliew4946]

Hi, i juat brought anew infrared on/off switch.Upon open my bathroom on/off switch found only 1 life and 1neutral wire.. My new infrared switch got input and output life while neutral also had input and output.Could you please help me out on the wiring. Your repky are much appreciated. Thank you very much

[@floriandolezal245]

GREAT!! Thanks a lot!

[@jasonnguyen2213]

Thanks very helpfull

Very good explanatory video ;-)

[@michaelisongekwere1402]

Good job I love it

[@jasonparkinson7621]

Muchas gracias! 👍

[@LekaLEL]

Fantastic video as always. I followed your day night for outside.
Now I want to do this Diy for my corridor.
Is or advisable to put the motion detector with pir ontop of the door frame.
With a led light in the centre?
(Corridor is 4 m long thus light is in the centre at 2 m).
Should I also use a 360 or 180 degree wall motion sensor with day night ???
I appreciate your exceptional videos as always.
From Gauteng

[@ecologicaltime]

thanks. If you put the PIR on top of door frame the light will remain off for a short time when someone walks through the door under the PIR until the person is in view of the PIR. If the PIR is 180 degrees and mounted on the wall, it should pick up from both sides of the corridor as soon as someone walks through the door on each side.

[@LekaLEL]

@@ecologicaltime thank you so much, j went ahead and got an O Lite 360 surface mount pir. Works like a charm except the day night...might just be a faulty unit or my wiring .

[@gsau3000]

You don't have to tape the entire length of the wire, just the ends.

[@meharnisha5889]

He did that for differentiating the INPUT and OUTPUT of sensor control.

[@acewinge2302]

nice and well done explanation. thx mate

[@RK_technical786]

Sir how to the corridor to much light and work 4 sencor use i whant Wering Diagram please answer sir

[@intense4761]

I have did exactly like you have shown,but not working

[@Ringele5574]

Very odd that the watt rating is different for incandescent and led/fluorescent.

[@meghendrakumarshrestha9917]

I have sensor which operates at 120VAC 60 Hertz(USA type) and the bulb operates at 220 VAC 50 Hertz(Indian Type),Please suggest me the applicable circuit diagram to install in India.

[@ecologicaltime]

use only the parts that operate on your supply.

[@kokosDNA]

in case that i need the switch on option, meaning that i switch on the light manually for a period of time, what do i have to do?

[@ecologicaltime]

there is an override on some sensors. This one you can adjust the time to longer but does not give full manual control. Others have a manual override. Get one with manual override.

[@24zelock]

can i use one of these sensors to turn on and off my patio heaters ? thanks

[@ecologicaltime]

yes as long as your heater wattage is lower than the maximum wattage that the sensor can take. Small heater is fine but high power heater, you will need a more powerful relay inside the sensor

[@24zelock]

@@ecologicaltime thanks for the reply , my sensor is max 2000w and my heater is 2000w , that be ok ?

[@ty10r]

Do you know if you can do this on a 3pole switch ?

[@ecologicaltime]

it can work if you set the switch to the one pole that you are connecting the detector. When you move the switch tot he other pole, the detector will be offline.

[@ecologicaltime]

if its a high quality and reliable detector, you could bypass the one pole as it will be always on and the detector can be used as the switch going on only when person is in vicinity.
