Is it not possible to use V3 with garage door controller and spotlight together? Wanted to add spotlight to light when camera detects motion in garage but when I did, the door contoller would no longer function. Is there a workaround or will only one accessory work at a time?
Welcome back to the forum @Mpez
Interesting question and results.
I have not tried this but willing to test when I get an opportunity this evening.
I was able to add a spotlight to a V3 that was connected to a floodlight and both operated as intended.
I wonder if it is a power drawl issue?
I will test later and let you know my results.
That.
I just remembered my Floodlight test was with a Second Camera that had the Spotlight attached to it, and not on the V3 associated directly to the Floodlight.
I’ll still give it a go and see what happens.
Yea I have read somewhere that only 1 accessory works at a time.
You could check the #wishlist to suggest this
Vote here, although this may be a hardware limitation (only 1 controller per control wire?):
Couldn’t find my extra spotlights yet, but as @Newshound and @IEatBeans have noted, what I have found in my searching only 1 accessory per camera.
Saw a few threads where users were trying to add the spotlight with a Lamp Socket. This did not work either.
