Best sensor for carport?

Post by mhn »

Hi.

I need an outdoor movement sensor. I used a Z-Wave Aeon PIR for a couple of years. It's no good.

So I need a good advice for an outdoor (under roof) sensor for northern Europe.

What is the best outdoor sensors?

Regards
Morten

I'm using an Everspring SP-103 on a power supply for some years now (under a roof). Works like a charm without issues. Other option would be to buy a standard PIR for outside and connect it to a simple zwave switch.

It don’t have to be Z-Wave. :-) I also use RFXCom 433 and 868, EnOcean, Hue, Sensorist, MySensors and some HTTP sensors.

Can you give an example off "a standard PIR"? I don't have easy access to 230V out there.

I have SP-103s but mine are unstable. :-|

Standard PIR i mean the units you can buy at the DIY shops but they need 220V. Like this one:

For battery operated sensors I'm very happy with the Fibaro ones. They run a long time on battery power but no idea how they do perform outside. At least they are not waterproof.

I have buyed on aliexpress 5 pir sensors 14.99$ together , and i can use them with the rfxcom

I put one in the garage and its 400 meters away behind a concrete wall, it works perfect if someone opens the garage ..
so for a carport it should work perfect

Everspring SP-103 is very robust device.
