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.

Neighbor did this during a remodel. First the inspector said they had
to be damp area lights like for a bathroom. After he takes them back
and gets the right ones and installs them the inspector tells him he
has clearance issues, not enough space between the fixture and the
roof decking. I think he solved the problem with low voltage lights.
