Just use two regular sensors fed from the same circuit.

Edit: This could create EMF's I suppose if it isn't wired to avoid it.

If it is a straight motion sensor and you dont need an manual switch it wouldn't need to be 3 way.

I checked around that appears to be a single pole not a 3 way.

I have a wiring diagram right in front of me that is a P&S three way setup. I don't have the model number but it is doable in some form.


Looks like just a couple of single poles.

Line to both switches, load from both switches to load, neutral to load only. If that makes any sense.

Also states that it will only work in auto mode, not true three way switching.
 
I have wired 3 way motions before, they dont get wired like a three-way, more like two motions in parallel...


I wish I could remember the brand I installed...

I have made two regular outdoor motion detectors controll one light.
When one is activated the light comes on and it back feeds the other sensor.
Same circuit two switch legs. I have had several of these working like this for years. It's great for around corners. .:cool:
You can do bath fan timers like this , too.

This is what I said in post #4. Installed it 10 years ago I believe. Was there the other day--- still working.

Mine was used for a very long driveway. Sensors at both ends. Lights in the middle. Ran a feed to the first sensor by the house and ran 3 wires from the sensor to first light and continued the 3 wires to the last sensor.
 
Wattstopper power packs - one pack can do several sensors at various locations - all 24vdc wiring. Ultra-sonic can cover finger movement a quite a distance.... Fart in a bathroom and they come on....:grin:

Wall box.... Same deal.... Unless you are dealing with closed walls and an existing situation???

I was going to mention the same thing.
