A user is seeking assistance with a 1.5-volt in-line/pigtail day/night sensor for an outdoor garden ornament powered by solar-charged batteries. The discussion reveals confusion over the specifications and the need for clarity on the serial communication standard for the sensor. Suggestions include using a 5V sensor with a power supply module to optimize performance, as well as considerations for battery compatibility and circuit options. The user also explores the use of a reverse photocell to control the ornament's operation based on light levels but encounters issues with the photocell's functionality. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the electrical components and their connections for successful implementation.

That you for the input. I sent a message to the seller of the photocell asking a few questions. Just to clarify... This photocell is to be on during the day... And off during the night.

Sadly... Although I thought the the light-bulb was a great idea... It did not work. And the seller of the sensor has not responded. Signed, Still-perplexed

Are there any final thoughts/suggestions before I close-up for the winter? Then, readdress this in the spring.
