Wiring two motion sensors in parallel?
Can two motion sensors be wired in parallel?
I want to mount a motion sensor on each side of a garage to activate the same set of floods.
Yes, I know these use solid-state switches and not hard switches.
I just want to be sure current will not back-flow from one to the other.
I don't like fires.

I've seen it done before with standard 3-wire motion heads.. Whether or not it was sanctioned by the manufacturer I don't know. However I can tell you there ARE motion detectors out there with a 'slave' wire - sort of like the interconnect wire on AC smoke detectors.. So when one detects motion, any interconnected fixture turns on.
