RE: FW: External x-10 movement sensors

[<mrf@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm using the X10 Floodcam without the dual floodlights as I also wanted it
just for the sensor. It works fine without it, but you must make sure the
two holes that are left are sealed up to prevent water getting into it. I
didn't buy the backbox with mine because I was mounting it on a wooden
lintel so the wires would go straight inside. Mine basically is controlled
by Homeseer, that when it receives the X10 ON command from the sensor, it
triggers other things like a floodlight, internal lights, and when I'm away
>from

I'm very happy with mine.. does it's job, plain and simple :)

Cheers

Marc

Hi

Im looking to automate my front external lights so that they only come
on when there is movement at the front drive.  Ive currently got 2
lights wired into an LD11 but I want to have them either dimmed or off
and only come to full brightness when someone is there.

Ive seen the x10 flood lights on letsautomate.com (
http://www.letsautomate.com/10222.cfm?
) but I dont really need the
flood, just the sensor.  I do remember there being a wireless outdoor
version of the MS13 but cant seem to find it on any HA websites?

If no-one knows of another way of doing this and I end up buying the x10
flood does anyone have any thoughts/pitfalls about it.  Does it need
mounting in a special US back box and can you use it without the flood
lights?

I haven't got homevision by the way as im controlling things from a PC
so the standard PIR option is out I think.

Thanks in advance
