I want to install recessed lights in roof soffit. Can I use ordinary
indoor RL housing? The housing will essentially be inside the soffit,
not exposed to weather.

I also want to trigger these soffit RLs with dusk to dawn and
possibly motion sensor but I could not find stand alone dusk to dawn
sensor anywhere.

You can use any frame kit rated for damp locations. Both motion
detector heads and photocells are available at places like Homedepot.
I believe the motion detector heads that HD sells have a dusk to dawn
feature on them

HD sells 2 types of dusk-dawn photocells: one is mounted in the cover of a
standard work box, and the other screws into a standard box knockout. i have
one of each in my house, and replaced them with the HD ones in the last few
months.

I assume dusk to dawn or motion sensor including the one inside
outdoor lights does not carry any load itself so several of them can
be wired in parallel and also additional lights can be added down the
line that the sensor controls.
