Re: plugging an appliance module into a lamp module?

["random735" <random735@xxxxxxxxx>]

Right, in fact at one point I was using a lamp module plugged into an
appliance module (not the otherway around, which i now understand would
be a "Bad Thing") before I had a PC handling motion detector macros.

I had one motion detector outside that sent the sundown signal, which
turned on the inside appliance module.  (and turned off the appliance
module when the sun came back up)

I had another motion detector inside which detected motion 100% of the
time, and would turn on the lamp module when it detected motion.
(plugged into the appliance module)

The net result was that only when it was dark *outside* would the
motion detector *inside* turn on the inside light.  (just putting the
inside motion detect on "sense during dark only" wouldn't quite get the
same effect)

Now, of course, i just have full PC control so it knows when the sun is
down and reroutes the macro accordingly, but at the time it seemed like
a nice hack.
