The X10 Floodlight does the following (all on the same House Code)

Base Unit Code (e.g. 1): Flood responds to X10 ON/OFF
Base +1 (+2,+3 & +4) : Flood sends X10 ON when Motion detected. OFF
after
single switchable no motion time. Each code is individually selectable
active/disabled
Base +5 (+6,+7 & +9) : Flood Sends X10 ON when adjustable darkness
detected.
OFF when it becomes light again. Each code is individually selectable
active/disabled.

I use one of these as my primary dusk detector. aswell as a
"normal" motion
floodlight. I have it set to max darkness for the dusk, but I'd prefer it
to
be a little darker before triggering to be honest.

With a 12v external PIR at £50, it doesnt look *quite* so over priced,
though I'd be happy to know of any good cheap (mutually exclusive?) 12V
external PIRs . I have an Opal XL waiting to be fitted at the front
attached
to comfort but havent managed to get the ladder out yet...

What options are there for outdoor x10 pirs?
I saw the floodlight on lets automate but £70 seems a bit steep.

Also, why does it output to four addresses, isn't one output enough?

Thanks,
