Hello!
I have 2 3-way motion sensor switches I want to install in my garage. There currently are two 3-way switches on different walls.
The setup is different from another thread I was reading on this site.. .
In my case the power (2 wire w/ground) goes to the light, and each of the switches 3 wire w/ground also comes to the light.
Therefore each switch box has a ground, black, red and white.
How would I would I wire two 3-way motion sensors so that they are not switching off as I walk from one to the other?
Thanks,
Bill

Two sensors that are in the same room should be wired as single pole switches in parallel, as motion sensors are designed to turn on a light when activated by motion, and will shut off after the desired time delay after leaving the room.

So two single pole sensors will work. 3 way sensors are designed to work with one 3 way switch.
