I piggyback modules all the time.  In the basement all the lights are on two
piggyback modules except the stairway light.  One press of B4 turns on the
stairway light which is on a single module - another press of B4 activates
the second tier of modules and turns all of the basement lights on.  B4 OFF
shuts them all down.  Sort of like those lamps that have three way bulbs.  A
nice by-product is that the whole set of basement lamps hardly ever activate
accidentally, even with multiple power blips from the power company.

All my perimeter motion detectors work from a TM751 that's plugged into
another appliance module.  When I want to turn them all off at once (windy
nights, squirrel and cat mating or whatever) I turn off the module that
controls the TM751.  Works nicely.

I'm working on making it so that the first motion detector turns on the
first of two piggybacked appliance modules, the end one with a chime plugged
into it.  Only the second pulse from the motion detector would activate that
second module and the chime plugged into it, giving me at least a little
isolation from single event false triggers for the %$5 cost of a second
appliance module.

You just have to know which modules can plug into each other to keep the
magic smoke inside.
