PIR Motion Sensor Outdoor IP65-180° Smart Motion Sensor Switch for Wall & Ceiling, 12M Detection Range - Waterproof PIR Sensor Outdoor Security Motion Detectors, Energy Class A+

I fitted one of these to the rear of my house about 3yrs ago, no problems at all. So after a disastrous time of fitting /removing and returning cheap alternatives to the front of the property I saw this advertised and decided to buy. It's been working now for a couple of months with no problems even through very wet conditions.

Does the job for me and works from a good distance. Occasionally turns on with a fox running by or similar, but always works when a car or people come by too. Took my electrician 20 minutes to install and had to use his own screws for some reason, but now it’s up and works very well so I’m happy with it. Also a much decent price compared to another similar looking German version with similar specs.

This is a very efficient unit however whoever designed it never tried to fit the sensor to the backplate standing up steps and fiddling with that ridiculous little single screw. I consider myself good at diy but this was a challenge.

Used the unit to switch on/off security lighting outside. Not a very robust case - with very small screw fixing ( easily lost !). Instructions are also not very clear ( poor translation I suspect)

After reading several reviews, some good,some bad, decided to purchase. Some of the reviews mentioned range not as stated, I have fitted the sensor at the recommended height and can confirm the range is over that stated, in fact picks up people walking by at about 16M. The other negative reviews mentioned not enough space for wiring and not being able to secure body to baseplate, this caused water ingress. I only used a single flex and had no trouble resealing the unit. Although it has only been fitted a few weeks, it has been exposed to some very heavy rain without any problems. The contols are easy to get to for adjusting, I have it set so it only comes on when dark, this works very well. At this moment in time i would recommend this sensor.

Got this due to its high IP rating as the one it replaced had filled up with water, so fingers crossed

Crap don't bother inside is really compact very hard to close and I lost the screw 3 times

I say easy to install, but it was my electrician did the work. Bought a few of these and had them installed last year. So far working just fine. They blend nicely against the black facia boards I have so don't stand out.
