Hi!

Can you inspire me with possible motion sensors for outside, besides the Philips one?

Cheers,

Is Z-Wave an alternative?  
So maybe IS 140-2 Z-Wave

Hi, when you say outside, is the sensor going to live in plain weather or just outside sheltered under a canopy or something similar? Battery powered or can you run mains power?
