I have a question about installing wiring, not sure if it should be in this forum or drywall however as it relates to both. I'm very familiar with LV wiring having done several homes. However, in this situation it's a new build, no drywall yet, and each room will be getting an occupancy sensor, 22/4 wire. I don't want to install a SG LV box everywhere where there will be a 22/4, yet I'm not sure how to bring this wiring through the wall after the drywall goes up. I'd like to have a very small hole for the wire to pass through, but how to I get the wire out once it's drywalled??

thanks

I'd just poke a hole in the sheet of drywall in the appropriate place and thread the wire through when the sheet gets hung.

If you need a single gang box to mount the sensor to, rather than use a actual box, use a single gang mud-ring (for a 4x4 box) screwed to the joist.
