I’ve been thinking a lot about the following question:
On all sides of the house (new build in planning), LED floodlights with motion sensors are to be installed under the roof at a height of 4 m (13 feet). Ideally, I would like to be able to control all the floodlights from inside as follows:
- all floodlights permanently on (e.g., in an “alarm situation”)
- all floodlights permanently off (cozy party in the garden)
- all floodlights on “detection” mode, meaning they only turn on when motion is detected.
I know you can usually set these modes on the floodlights themselves, but since they will be mounted under the roof, I’m looking for a solution to control all of them from inside simultaneously.
Do you have any ideas or experience?

So, we have this setup on the terrace and at the front door... the electrician installed it. I had also suggested the Arnold light switch to him, but he always implemented it with a simple double switch.
Both switches pressed up means off for us... both pressed down means on... and only one pressed (one up and one down) means motion sensor... maybe this helps you further.

Our motion sensor receives power and switches the lamp on when it detects movement.
An additional switch now operates the lamp in parallel.
This means the lamp gets power from two sources: from the motion sensor when it detects motion, and/or when I manually turn on the constant power via the switch.
If you install a second switch that supplies so-called switching current to the motion sensor, you could also change the mode on the sensor this way.
I think I read something like this earlier in the Gira catalog.
Alternatively, you could completely turn off the motion sensor using a second switch. If both switches are off, the lamp stays off.
If the constant power switch is on, the lamp is always on.
If the motion sensor has power and the constant power is off, you have the detection mode.
