![]() I am making something that will incorporate a battery operated motion sensor.
When it detects motion it will then need to send a signal to turn on power to lamp or other electric device. I'm having trouble finding one. Perhaps I have missed it somewhere. |

![]() I want to have a motion sensor near my shed and have it signal me when there is movement in the area.
Perhaps I need to look at alarm systems. Although do not need it sound an alarm just turn on a light. |

![]() An audio alarm would be more noticeable at night, IMO. How about a combo unit..

![]() The wireless driveway alert is what I need, but the receiver needs to be able to turn on a light wired to 120v ac.

![]() I'd imagine if yer crafty, a VOX circuit could replace the speaker/transducer in the rcvr. connected to a timed relay to give ya what ya need. Do ya need it to work during the day too?

![]() No just at night.
I'm not too good with electrical stuff. For instance, just a few minutes ago I was taking out the remote control receiver from one of my ceiling fans to put into another ceiling fan. I failed to turn of the breaker. Those sparks are bright and I could not see for a moment. |
