Is there a good tool used to track electrical wires buried in walls? I have a telephone wire tracer but doesn't seem powerful enough. I have a switch somewhere on the wall that was covered by stucco and not sure where it is exactly. It goes to a ceiling fan outside that was added and not on the plans and I don't want to make multiple holes in the stucco.

Also does anybody know of a dusk to dawn wall switch? I have some outside lights that I would like to come on at dusk and go off at dawn and thought maybe I could find a switch that would control all on the switch.

Thanks

As far as a tracer goes, I have one from HD that isn't that great. I bought a Lanrover and talked with the guy about a better tracer and he actually said I couldn't get much better than the one I had. I think it was this company:

(that's not my tracer though)
The guy I talked to sounded pretty honest. Try calling them and asking if they have something better than what you have now. I think the guy I talked to was in AZ though, that company is CO.

I found it, it's this place I ordered from:

I think I would try my Zircon stud, metal and live power finder. It was cheap, bought it at HD. Works good for stuff like this.
