Anyone know if I can "CUT" the photocell out?

RE: [misterhouse-users] jabber error.I had a similar problem.  It turns out
that the sensor is very sensitive to any light.  Try it again and be sure
that the sensor is completely covered.  I used a small square of electrical
tape to cover just the sensor window and then I used a bigger piece around
the whole sensor "can".  It might be overkill but I haven't had to open the
sensor again.....

Hope this helps,

MS12a   X10.com's older motion sensor question.

The one that you can't control the Light/Dark setting.  I've had a couple
laying around for a while now.   I remember seeing something that stated
that you could cover up the photocell with tape.  I thought I did that.
BUT....      I'm running into an issue with it.  After re-reading the doc on
the MS12a I found that it sends a Code+1 for Darkness.      Was driving me
crazy lights going on and off...

Given:

F1 = Motion Upstairs
F2 = All Outside Lights
F3 = Motion Kids room
F4 = Window Candles/Xmas Lights


Motion detected upstairs... When off command is sent for Motion upstairs...
All the outside lights pop on.   likewise when no motion in kids room Dark
Command sent turning all the windows candles on.


Anyone seen anything similiar?   Any workarounds?

Thanks in advance.
