In order to do that you're going to have to move away from the original X10 thinking where the motion sensor handles turning on and off of the light. 

You're probably going to want to move the motion sensor to a different address than the light. Create 2 units for it in XTension rather than just one and write a tiny script in the motion sensor to turn on and off the unit that corresponds to the light rather than just let the command be passed through by the CM15 or a transponder.

I believe the CM15 automagically transfers through the B house code from wireless to wired, or at least mine was setup that way when I got it. So I would set the motion sensor and any other remote you want to use to a house code other than B unless you want those commands automatically passed to the powerline for some other reason.

But once you have a separate unit for the motion sensor and the light, you can add any logic you like for controlling the light. They would then be linked only by your own scripts.

Thanks,
