Well, my new sensor arrived and I very carefully installed it reading and
rereading the instructions. I was pretty proud of myself as I plugged it
in.....POP!!!!!! It was over in a flash, no pun intended. I must have
crossed a wire somewhere, oh well, I've got one of those dimmer plugs and
that'll just have to do. Now, where's that damn cat!



I recall installing a non-grounded outlet with a switch in my old house
to replace the one that was grounded with a switch. I cant recall what
I did but I blew up the switch in an instant. I had to hunt long and
hard to find another switch that was only 2 prong.
