Long time reader first time poster - please be gentle
weve been having a problem with oiks wandering about at night trying car and house door handles, I’ve already got a decent cctv system, but I’d much rather deter them in the first place
a few weekends ago I installed some abt100 beam sensors across the only access point to our property - these offer NC/NO outputs. I took a 433 MHz doorbell push and wired it into the NO, so when someone walks in,Mathew circuit closes, the door bell rings in the house, it’s so simple its excellent. Saves the postman time etc. The abt100 infra red beam setup above is powered from an old car battery high is topped up from a 12v solar panel, simple and safer than running 240v around etc.
what I’d like to do,is now have a flood light mounted on the house come on for 2 minutes when the beam sensor is activated by someone walkimg though the beam. I thought I could recycle the door bell push / buy a new12v 433mhz transmitter And have it go to the sonoff 4ch pro r2,
using inching mode to turn it on for xminutes
was about to purchase the above when I realised inching mode was only 1-16 seconds, configured by physical switches rather than a software setting - drat, so close to a simple clean solution. I then planned to buy flood lights with a photocell in or put the entire sonoff power input on a timer switch so it’s only receiving in dark hours
I’m going to keep the current door bell ringing system in place.
TLDR - want infrared beam to turn on a flood light over 433mhzs for x minutes then power off. Don’t want wires running from house to front gate.
any obvious neat solution I’m missing?
many thanks for Reading and hopefully answering.
