    Outdoor occupancy sensor that does not require a neutral wire
    To StanFortyman

    I have an old house. The outdoor sensor stopped working. The new purchase was Leviton. It is a 3 wire system. But my system is a 2 wire set-up, with no neutral wire, so it will not work. How can I find a 2 wire replacement product? Or is there some alternative solution? Rewiring the entire system would be difficult and costly.

    Thanks. Stanleyshelter
