Hi All,

Could somebody please tell me what's is the best motion sensor in combination with Domoticz?
No i use the Kaku motion sensor, but sometimes the sensor does not report motion.
And that is frustrating me.

Any one some tips?

Would be nice.

Regards,

Migwelly

I have a mini Fibaro sensor and it works well. The battery life is excellent so far.

I'm using this one:

https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/PIR-Motion-Sensor

A relatively cheap motion sensor which is working correctly. It is wired to a Raspberry and made a small program to update Domoticz in case a motion is detected.

What I still want to do/get:
- a housing for this motion detector,
- make it wireless using the NRF24l01 wireless connector, see http://hack.lenotta.com/arduino-raspber ... -nrf24l01/

On the last one I've ordered components to get this setup/installed.

On the PIR housing I'm still looking for a good solution. Anyone?
