Thread: How to bypass sound and motion sensors

Tweet

I'm wanting to somehow bypass the sound and motion sensors on a couple of animated props. Basically I want them to come on and stay on until the power is cut to them. I don't really care if I have to abandon the on/off switches that they come with. I plan on plugging them into a remote controlled wall receptacle. Then I can cut them on and off as I want from inside my house when trick or treaters are near them. The sensors are worthless becuse I have loud scary sounds playing, and strobe lights galore. All that interference means that they won't come on like they are suppose to. One main problem is that these props seem to be designed to only run for a set period of time after being "set off". Thanks in advance!

do they have cds cells

I believe so. One is donna the dead, and the other is headless harry. I think they both have the motion/light sensors (cds I think), and donna also has sound activation. I don't think harry has a sound sensor.

for cds just unsolder it and replace it with a switch
