Both are very useful but I’m wondering if there’s more up to date products which could help me…
I’m looking for a motion sensor that I can use inside a barn, given we’re in Michigan it can get cold during the winter and I’m finding battery life to be an issue. The sensor will be protected from the elements and ideally would be powered by USB (have electric in the barn). Range up to 40 feet would be ideal but less is also OK.
Curious if people have thoughts/recommendations on a decent device that I could use. Right now I’m aware of these:
I am using an older version on the GE motion sensor (battery) outdoor on a porch in Las Vegas were it gets cold and hot. I have not had any issues with it. And also use the same motion sensor plugged in indoors.
I have the Aqara motion sensor and door sensor, the weather is certainly a little warmer but so far these are looking like really great devices. I installed the custom handler code and used the joining instructions found on YouTube.
