I ran a 20-amp circuit to the storage shed.
I installed a 3-gang wall box inside for: a single-pole light switch for an inside 4' LED; a duplex outlet; and, a single-pole switch for an external motion sensor.
I finished the inside light and the outlets.
Need more material to run the motion sensor.
The manufacturer recommendeds a switch for the sensor--it stays on all the time UNLESS you really want to turn it off OR use the switch to change the sensor's timing.
Question:
Can I wire this last switch using pigtails coming off the receptacle OR do I need to run from the source like I did with the LED light switch?
