It is possible for any 3-wire motion sensor to be used with the PIXIE system using the PIXIE Dual Relay Controller ( PC206DR-R-BTAM)

In fact following the diagram below, any 3-wire sensor can be transformed from a dumb sensor into a “smarter”-sensor.

This provides the ability to do the following with these types of sensors from any manufacturer.

– Operate your lights to operate in Override Mode – that is, the lights are on, no
