I was completely fed up with constantly replacing the batteries.

Disabling all the features to minimize power consumption for the sensor was also really a shame.

I’ve made my sensor adapter powered, and below I’ll show you how I did it.

Of course, everyone can approach this in their own way, but this is how I did it.

These parts I used:

AC adapter DC 3V 1amp with 5.5 x 2.1 plug

Male 5.5x2.1 DC power plug

Both components were purchased on the World Wide Web.

No more expensive CR123a batteries for me to replace!
