    I have a light switch at the top and another at the bottom of the stairs going into my basement. I want to replace the switches with simple sensors as light is always needed.

    The manufacturer of the light switches I have installed around the house have a light sensor version that I can just replace easily enough, it also offers a setting to leave the light on for 30 seconds of no activity which is handy.

    Is there anything I need to look out for, could having 2 sensors be an issue, could one cancel the other and end up turning off the light when approaching the bottom?

    Usually these things hold the lights on.
