Dusk to Dawn Lights Automation | DIY

what's up guys uh I wanted to share these photo sensors with you I personally use these photo sensors and I have been using them for years and for my out outdoor lights I connect them to my outdoor lights to save electricity and let me explain what these are for those of you who don't know so this is a photo sensor and uh what it does is that it is sensitive to sunlight as soon as there is sunlight it disconnects the circuit inside it so whatever you have connected it to uh that thing will turn itself off so because I use it and it works with your existing lights like there are lights and things that have built in the sensor but I wanted something separate so that I can use the lights of my own choice instead of being bogged down by the choices made already by by the manufacturer so it works with anything already there mainly liers because that's the purpose of it but you can use it with anything else I have installed it with my lights all outdoor lights that I turn on at nights and turn them off at day I the problem was that uh I am not a person who wakes up early in the morning so what would happen is that all the outdoor lights which were on at night will remain on till I woke up and then turn them off so maybe at 11:00 a.m. if I wook up late and then some days even later than that so many hours of electricity was uh wasted I wanted to come up with the solution and I came up with this one these are very cheap it on Amazon each sensor cost you around $4 and on alexpress it will be around $1 or $2 so you install uh you use the existing wiring just add a cut there and Sol it in between you have red white neutral wire this this is the current wire and then I think this is the earth wire so you install it in between the that they also come with screws and you can attach them along the wall in the in a way that that light of uh the light of the light itself doesn't come on this tip only the sunlight comes there so you install it there and after that your light you turn on the light and it remains automatic in the sense that during the night as soon as there is dark the sensor will connect the circuit and it will turn light will be turned on and during the day it automatically turn off the light because it will detect the uh light and use that current to discon connect the circuit so I have installed it with all my outdoor lights and I will show you I installed in a bit so I wanted to share it with you guys first so let's let let's go and let me show you where these are installed and let me show you these in action as well well so let's go all right as you can see this is a sensor and if I turn on the slide nothing happens like it will not turn on even if I press the button the light will definitely not turn on let me turn on the two other lights for which I have already installed the sensor and let's go if they turn on as well because it is daylight so they will definitely not turn on see this light it hasn't turned on even the button is on and as you can see there this is the sensor that is is keeping it off because it is a photo sensor it can easily detect there is light so it will not let the current pass through and uh as soon as there is a little bit light it takes that energy converts it into electricity to keep the connection brok same is for this light as well so these kind of sensors I have installed them on all areas and uh all outdoor lights and they keep the energy uh to minimum all right I think now it's enough dark I mean it's still not enough but let's try it I think it should work let's see it takes a second like the sensor takes a second to uh let the current pass or the side if it is not letting it okay there we go as you can see the light has turned itself on now let's try these Globes the ones on the gate these are the two buttons let's see if they turn themsel on there is still light outdo so let's see okay one has turned on the left one uh I don't think the right one is going to turn on uh maybe I have to trigger that action manually by giving it a bit darker environment let's see let me give my hand all right there you go so as you can see as soon as I gave it a bit darker environment it turned the light on and you can see it on the left as well and both of these lights and not only these all I have shown you all other lights the ones that I haven't shown you all of them have these sensors and they run on at night and turn themselves off at day
