Default Wall-mounted motion sensor light question/idea.

Wow, thanks again. That's a lot of work that you did. I appreciate it. I
think I can follow the diagram, so I'll probably end up giving that a try
and seeing what happens. I may not get to it for about a week or so, but
I'll post back what happens.

Ah, the dreaded MEGO syndrome. I know what you're talking about.

I went ahead and drew a schematic diagram of the circuit for you:

Following typical conventions, crossing wires with a dot are
electrically connected, those without a dot aren't. Boxes represent
junction boxes and everything that goes inside them. The cable between
motion detector and switch needs 3 conductors (white/black/red) plus
ground; all others are regular 2-conductor (black/white). Diagram
assumes power comes into the box with the motion detector; if it comes
in elsewhere, circuit needs to be changed to suit.

You should be able to figure this out, I hope.
