Outdoor 3-way motion sensor on a low volt circuit?

Home Improvement Asked on December 20, 2020

50ft path from driveway to front door.
Volt 150w transformer.
5 kichler fixtures, currently daisy chained.
no significant drop.
Want a motion sensor on each end: exactly how does one wire this?

Thanks!

Even with the great lack of detail in the question as it currently stands, normally to have "a motion sensor at each end" you need new/additional wires running all the way from one end to the other. The motion sensors need power all the time, so you can't have one at the end away from the current power source without running new wiring for that.

Beyond that, hard to say given lack of detail in the question.

You’ll need 3 wires between all points. The lamps are wired to switched-hot and common. The sensors are wired to those two and also always-hot.
