FAQ: Do you know of an outdoor motion sensor?

[JDRoberts]

Has anyone had any luck integrating the Chamberlain Driveway alarm into ST? I’m looking for something to monitor my driveway since it’s not easily visible from my office. Cheers!

Most people use the Dakota. But in any case you need to wire the trip beam device to a device with a zigbee or zwave radio so it can communicate to SmartThings.

Detailed discussion in the following thread:

Laser Trip Sensor?

Has anyone seen a laser or infrared trip sensor in z-wave or zigbee? Pretty much your typical mission impossible style sensors where breaking the beam would trigger an alarm? I have a few very specific areas where motion sensors are giving too many false alarms or the area they detect is too wide.
