Hello,
I am trying to find out how to make a light work the way I want.
What I would like to do is as follows.
I have a light in a garage controlled by light switch and I want to make it so if a door opens it turns on said light.
It's not the main door or I would simply add a motion light switch.
I want the light to turn on if one of the overhead doors open and stay on until door closes.
But I also want the light switch to stay working in the garage except not shut off the light if overhead doors are open.
Where I live have 120vac.
I thought of using relays and low voltage magnetic door switchs but am unsure of how to wire them and keep it safe.
Just in case someone tries using light switch if light is on from Overhead door being open.
If there some premade relay for such a project or how would I go about it.
Thanks in advance
