An (almost) unsolvable problem. Only a 3x1.5 cable goes outside. Unless we disregard illegal tricks...
I could imagine what tricks you are alluding to. Illegal and also dangerous?
unless you dismantle everything again and lay additional cables...
Not negotiable with my wife, unfortunately. She would rather forego some of the above-mentioned functions in the lighting control.
Therefore... the damage is already done... take a battery-powered motion detector or a smart outdoor light with a motion sensor, which then controls all the other lights?
I would like to avoid battery-powered motion sensors.
But an outdoor light with a motion sensor that then controls the other lamps sounds interesting. What exactly is the idea here?
If you however forego the option to override the motion sensor by switch, all that would be easily possible without adjustments.
That would be our favorite. That means: we forego switching the motion sensor with a switch inside the house and thus turning on the lamps from inside before leaving? The light switch stays permanently "on," I connect the 3x1.5 cable to the motion sensor and then to the lamps. The light switch inside the house would basically be useless decoration? We would activate the motion sensor by leaving the house and thus switch on the outdoor lighting?
