i want one of my light elements to be controllable from 2 diff sources...
I have a string of C7 lights that i want to line the walkway to my house.
i want it to be controlled by a SSR4 channel, but I also want to be able to turn it on from one of those wireless remote controllers you can get from walmart.
i was thinking of pluging the c7 string into a spt wire extension cord using vampire plugs. but have two inputs... one input plugged into the wireless controlled recepticle, and the other connected to the channel output of the SSR4.
if i ensure that the hot from both inputs match, and the neutrals match (so i dont create a direct short) would this work?
also if i did do this, could i damage the SSR4 from power being applied to the channel while the SSR4 is expecting it to be off?
Additional info.
both inputs would be from the same circuit of the circuit panel.
I don't plan on dimming this channel, just off and on.
