I am new to Insteon and bought the 2477S Wall Switch and Motion Sensor 2842-222. I would like to have my outside lights turn on/off when it senses motion at night only and also be able to manually turn on and off the lights. Before I start the installation. I started reading the manuals. To have the lights turn on/off when it senses motion, I read that I have to make the wall switch a "responder" and the motion sensor a "controller". To be able to manually turn the lights off and on, do I also need to make the wall switch a "Controller" and the motion sensor a "responder"?
I am also not sure what it means when they say "create a two-way link and keep the two products in sync". What are the benefits of creating this 2 way link?
NOTE: I am not using a hub or anything. It is just a simple setup. I did buy an access point just in case the motion sensor signal does not reach the wall switch. I can install the access point in between.
Thanks for your help
