Hello, I have installed (2) micro on/off modules triggered by motion detectors installed at the top and bottom of a long exterior stairway. The micro modules control low voltage lighting transformers for tree lights that shine down on the stairs. The micro modules are linked. The plan was that when you start up or down the stairway, the motion detectors would trigger the micro modules and the lights would stay on until a specified time after motion was no longer detected. BUT, as you walk up, or down the stairs the lights come on when initially triggered by the first motion detector, but then go off when motion is detected by the 2nd motion detector. The triggered reaction to the 2nd motion detectors activation turns all the lights off. The micro modules' trigger seems to react to any change in current. Relay energized - any trigger (any change in current ) will de-energize / Relay de-energized - any trigger will energize.
I am using the yellow wire in a "latching" set up, wired as shown on smarthome website. Should I be using the purple wire, but that shouldn't make a difference.
I am wondering if anybody else has encountered a similar problem with the micro modules, and if possible found a work around they would be willing to share. Or, if anybody else could shine some light on this subject. Possibly another wiring set up ( momentary, or ?) might solve the problem....Help!
Thanks, Mike
