SEBSON PIR Sensor Outdoor IP65, Surface Wall mounted, Infrared Motion Sensor, LED suitable, Range max. 12m/180° + 3m/360°, swivelling, max. 1200/600W, anthracite

Great bit of kit, I’ve mounted this on an oak porch connected to a huge carriage lantern and it works perfectly! The sensor activates the lantern from the end of the drive which I set up with ease. The whole connectivity, wiring and installation was straight forward and surprisingly easy for an amateur like me. It has been up now for few months through all sorts of extreme bad weather wet, dry, hot or cold and still works fine. Great value for money and would highly recommend.

These are easy to set-up for a single point of entry, and certainly waterproof. My electrician has cleverly incorporated 2 of these to work both patio/wall lights so that movement from either one will trigger both lights, and he put a light-switch inside to allow the lights to be turned on completely for outside illumination.

This is a very good PIR detector, with 1 star knocked off because there is no detection sensitivity setting - there is only the option (via the setting dials) to change time on, from a minimum of 10 seconds, and the light level sensitivity (day to night). I have it fitted to the underside of the soffit boards of a low roof, and facing the prevailing weather. The ability to mount it with the wires coming out of the top was very useful for me, and so far it has stood up to some extremely rainy days. I have it mounted facing the front gate which is about 4 metres from the road, and because of the lack of ability to set the detection sensitivity I have it pointed down at quite an angle to avoid being set off by passing cars the whole time. This negates the secondary PIR sensor on the bottom of the unit, but with a bit of trial and error I got it detect anyone coming through the gate, and also cars that stop by the front gate. Side to side range remains very good however, and it detects anyone leaving the front door about 5 m to the side. I don't have it set up to directly control a floodlight that I put right next to it - I have the PIR output connected to a switch input of a Shelly 2PM Gen 4 relay that then connects to Home Assistant, and have the light setting set to so that it detects motion at all times of day and night. That way I use it to tell me when someone comes through the gate - it's surprising how many couriers don't knock on the door very loudly and end up leaving because we have not heard them. To work with the Shelly device, I needed to connect a highish value (~330Kohm) 2W resistor between the L' of the detector and the switch input of the Shelly - as instructed by Shelly themselves - and having done this, it works perfectly. That said, I have programmed the Shelly to switch the floodlight on and off independently of Home Assistant, i.e. with local logic, and to do this between sunset and sunrise only. Overly complicated? Maybe, but it gives me a lot more control over the light than is possible with a direct connection of it to the PIR sensor.

Fitted and working well - simple to install

Good sensor if you do not want to limit its field of detection. There's NO distance settings. Placed above front door and I am on a corner plot with a public path about 6m away at side and front, have tilted sensor down a lot to stop forward detection but it still gets everyone on the side path, guess I am going to have to put sticky tape over part of sensor. Partly my fault for assuming all sensors have distance settings, my previous purchases all did,even cheap pir floods have distance.

This item is from a German company but made in China. Having said that the build quality is very high and the item works very well. An excellent instruction booklet is provided which is split into sections of many language’s. The unit is well sealed against water ingress and easy to fit on a flat surface. The unit has two separate pir sensors the longer range one is adjustable up and down but not side to side, the other close up sensor is mounted under the long range sensor. Because the long range sensor does not move side to side it’s horizontal adjustment appears fixed, but can be adjusted. To achieve this individual elements of the pir lens can be covered with white sticky tape, which stops them working. The adjustment of the operating area is by a walk test in daylight, set the lux control to Sun and the time control to 10s. With the unit powered up walk the area covered by the sensor to see where it operates and adjust as required. When you are happy reset the lux to how dark you want it to operate at and the time control to the time you want it to operate for. Job done.

WORKS! Better than buying a light with am in built sensor!

This works very well but my husband found it rather fiddly to install in place of the failed one, although that was of a different design. I think we need to tinker with the range a bit but we are pleased with it overall.

Come oggetto si presenta bene sembra di qualita' molto bello nero e come aspetto , un po' diverso dai soliti . Semplice come montaggio al momento funziona bene , si vedra' nel tempo .

The sensor is quite good quality, however don't expect to have detection range at 12 meter as it is mentioned in the description. The range however is approximately 8 meters maximum.

Great product works great looks 100%

Détecteur petit, discret et très efficace. La portée de détection est comme dans la description, 12m. L'appareil est petit et donc discret mais tout aussi performant. Notice suffisamment claire, pas de soucis d'installation. Il est très sensible aux mouvements. De plus la durée d'éclairage est réglable. Chez moi, ce détecteur ommande des lampes LED, c'est parfait. La qualité y est, bien conçu. L'étanchéité devrait être parfaite, tout est prévu pour empêcher l'eau d'y entrer. De part sa petitesse, c'est un peu serré pour y cacher tous les fils mais facilement faisable. Attention à bien respecter la polarité. Si la polarité n'est pas respectée, il ne fonctionne pas mais surtout cela ne l'endommage pas.

Ho utilizzato questi sensori associati ad un timer ed un crepuscolare e devo dire che per ora si stanno comportando egregiamente. Sono sensibili anche al passaggio degli animali.
