pir

I'd like to be able to schedule my outdoor lights to come for a few hours each evening but at a dimmed output. I'd like the lights to be on fully if the PIR is activated, at any time in the night. Could I wire a smart wifi switch in series with / feeding a dimmer and have a PIR in parallel to...

Afternoon. So on this rainy Saturday I thought I would get to the jobs I have been putting off :-) My garage has a pull cord with 2 red wires and an earth which I am presuming are live and switched live. I wanted to replace it with a PIR as the amount of time I spend in there is minimal and I...

Hi all, Just in the process of constructing a new pre-fabbed shed. Planning to store some tools and a few other bits in there so want to make sure it's insulated. At the moment the shed has 40mm studs. I've picked up some Thermal foil insulation (acts as a vapor barrier), and was also planning...

Dear All, I wonder if anyone can help. Have had premier elite 24 with a one entry exit contact sensor, around 6 Prestige TD WIRED PIRs and one keypad. It's been problem free for 6-7 years. Now initially, in the night, the downstairs hallway PIR would set off the alarm every 4-6 months and I...

Hi Guys, I am about to put in my insulation between the rafters after my electrics first fix, The question being do I put the insulation in so they are flush to the bottom of the rafters or can I put them above my wiring as long as I leave my 50mm air ventilation gap? There will be 50mm pir...

Hi. Quick question: I have rigid insulation upstands around the concrete slab in my extension, and am using self-levelling compound on it before laying engineered wood. Do I trim the insulation and level over it (creating a thin cold bridge to the masonry/bifold frame) or level first and trim...

The Manrose XF100PIR 4 Inch Toilet Extractor Fan with PIR I fitted in a downstairs loo starts for no reason in the evenings, sometimes three times, sometimes not at all, but usually at least once. Nothing in the room moves (towels, mirrors, gloss paint, all been checked). The isolator switch is...

Hi, I have a rental property split into 3 flats I'm wondering whether it's worth changing the columbus switches to normal switches and replacing the lamps to led ones with pir sensors ? As it would be more convenient for tenants. Thanks
