Hi all,
I just found this forum last night and figured I would post my issue since I can't find much out there with a similar situation.
My job is to light a big garage area in basically a basement. The caveat is that the house is in a flood plane. The county flood plane at this house is 5' and all electrical has to be 3' above the flood plane. This would put all electrical including light switches at 8' or above. The house is basically raised 10' off the ground and creates a large space under the house, like a basement.
My idea would be to run a 4-way circuit around the garage locating occupancy switches at all of the key locations. Then feed the output to the lighting circuit. I need to have a way to switch the lighting circuit as well as keep the lights on while somebody might be working in a specific area.
I have been looking for info on using more than 1 multi-location occupancy sensor. (Lutron MS-OPS5MH) I can't find anything about wiring a new circuits, but I do find info about replacing a 4-way switch with an occupancy sensor. Before I go out and buy the supplies and run a ---- load of wire I am looking for another set of eyes that this would work or is there a simple/cheaper way to achieve the same results?
I have attached the diagram from Lutron that I found regarding swapping a 4-way switch with a multi location occupancy switch.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
