Hi Sorry for the broad silly question but I was wondering if you can have more than one Passive Infra red sensor running off the one single switch?

Any electrical information as to why you can or can't would be very helpful.

Thanks.

You can put multiple motion detectors on a single input, the only problem is that if you have false trip issues, sorting out the specific device can be a bit of a pain in the neck.
