    If there is a light controlled by a sensor (5750WPL for example) and a switch will turning the light on by the switch be overridden by whatever the time out period is set for on the sensor if someone activates the sensor? If so, is there a simple fix that someone can suggest that will prevent this? Thanks.

    If the sensor is currently triggered, turning on the switch will cancel the sensor timer so it's timeout function will not run. But movement will then re-trigger the sensor and re-activate the timeout. Turning the switch off while the sensor is active will also turn off the ga and cancel the timer, but movement will then re-trigger the ga.

    If you want the switch to override the light and keep it on, create a separate ga for the switch or sensor, and use the OR logic in the output unit so the output will be on if either the switch or sensor is active.
