Say you have a long hallway and want, say, three OCC sensors where any one sensor will turn on the lights. It seems you could just bring the load wire off each sensor and splice them all together and then to the lights. I know I have done this before, where I wanted a manual override switch for a photo or motion sensor. Lutron Says you cant do this in the destructions, and I actually talked to Lutron tech support and the guy said "It will not work, they will fight each other". Am I missing something here? Obviously with the arrangement if sensor A goes off, it will send power to the load side of the other sensors, but I cant see that that would matter or hurt the sensor, regardless of whether its on or off. Like I said I have done this before, just not with these specific OC sensors. I guess one could argue its a paralleling conductors smaller than 1/0 violation whenever more than once sensor is activated, but anything else I am missing?
