According to Toller :


"Don't switch the switch" is actually the _right_ solution here,
because
you
need to be able to switch the motion detector off in order to reset it
when it goes into "manual mode".

Naw, I had two lights in my garage on a switch. I changed last year to
a
motion sensor and wired itone always on, and it works fine. I am pretty
sure it was an Eagle. There is, as I recall, a manual mode that you got
by
flipping the switch on and off quickly,or something like that, but I
don't
miss having it.

Ah, but you _do_ have manual mode. Whenever you have a power glitch.

What you'll miss is being able to conveniently turn it back to automatic.

Actually we have had two power outages since I installed it. Didn't have to
do anything either time, it just resumed working normally; which is good
since I didn't save the instructions.
