thanks Scott...I'll give it a try

 

oh that looks promising..
thanks

 

So the 110 powers the sensor and the relay now is basically an external switch for whatever device your triggering only using the power it would normally use with it's own switch?

Seems like it would be really easy to connect to any prop with a try me button. Thanks for the info!!

That's exactly it!

 

Sweet... that's perfect timing. I just finished mounting one of those talking clown heads from Spirit onto a body, and that will work great to turn it on.
Thanks!

 

Thanks!! This is making me wonder if I did something wrong with my motion sensor??? During the day, it goes off like it's supposed to. By night, at some point, my prop turns on and wont shut off at the time it's set for.
I'll have to take a better look at your instructions. I have some "try me" stuff I'd like to add.

 

That's pretty weird. Did you change anything connected to the photo cell? You might have to bypass it or something.

 

Thanks Scottzilla. Nice tutorial with good photos.

 

Very tricky! Thanks for a great idea.
