Motion activated to non motion activated
1 motion activated light on the porch.
2 non-motion activated lights on the driveway.
1 Switch.
Is it possible to connect the above and have the 2 non-motion activated lights go off and on together with the motion activated light. If not, is there a way to do it?
Thanks, Paul

Sure it can be done by hooking them to the motion sensor of the first light. You would have to add up the wattage to make sure the sensor isnt overloaded and I believe you will need to gfci that circuit though. One of the inspectors will look in here and add details I am sure.

GFCI is Ground Fault Circuit Interruptor. You don't need it to protect the lighting. But you may need it to protect the cable if it is direct buried (i.e., not in conduit) less than 24 inches deep. GFCI is usually provided by a GFCI receptacle in the house before the cable leaves the house, or by a GFCI breaker in the panel. It's purpose is to keep you from getting electrocuted.
