Hi All, my friend asked me for some advice but im not 110% sure. He has installed a outside security light with built in PIR detection, but also wanted it to operate as a normal light when switched. So he has wired to switchlines from a 1g 2way switch, 1 switchline feeds directly to the live of the lamp the other feeds via the PIR. At the moment when you switch it either way the lamp illuminates and stays on (even if through the PIR). I want to know if when the supply feeding the PIR is disconnected (switched) and then reconnected, would the PIR reset itself and thus not operate as set?
 
leave the switch that feeds the PIR oin the ON position. use the other switch for manual. if you interrupt the feed to the PIR and then turn it on again, the light will come on for the time set on the PIR then go off.
