Hi,
we have a 5-core cable for our outdoor light, which is connected to a standard on/off switch.
I now want to install an outdoor light with a motion sensor. When I switch the indoor switch to ON, the light should stay on continuously; when I turn the switch OFF, the motion sensor mode should be activated.
How do I need to connect (or have connected) the cables to make this work? As far as I have seen, outdoor lights usually have only the common 3 wires (L, N, and PE).

Hmm, another option: I will use a lamp with an integrated motion sensor, but I will only connect 3 of the 5 wires. That should work, right? Then I switch the wall switch inside to permanent on, so the lamp always has power – but it only turns on when the motion sensor detects something. The other two wires would be spares. That should work too, right?For a lamp with an integrated motion sensor, you will only need 3 wires.
However, it means:
Switch set to "On" = motion sensor active and lamp turns on or off depending on movement.
Switch set to "Off" = motion sensor and therefore lamp off.
But that is not what you intended.
