Vahn Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Looking for recommendation for an OUTDOOR rated (aka "weatherproof") battery powered Motion Sensor with C4 drivers. Found lots and lots of stuff for indoor use and have 14 Card Access motion sensors (Card Access WMS10) myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Leeds UK Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We use the outdoor Philip sensor via the Philips hue hub and Philips motion sensor driver www.unilogiq.com for the driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahn Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Thank you sir, will look into it immediately! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SY3 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I have 2 Card Access WMS10-2 motion sensors that I've using outdoors for the past 4 years without any issues. Just replace the batteries when needed. They have survived the extreme Texas summers. Not sure about sub-zero temps. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahn Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Interesting. We checked with C4 on that sensor and they said 'no, don't use it outdoors. I have several of the WMS10, but not the -2. Thank you so very much. I may sacrifice one of mine "for the fun of it." I did order 1 of Hue. It's not very expensive and they have a 3 day trial on the driver. Looks like a good side-by-side test is in order. (I love this stuff. Thanks all for your help over the years.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amr Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I have 7x WMS10-2, most of them installed outdoor for the past 3 years no issues at all!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahn Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Awesome. Thank you. I'll try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vahn Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thanks everyone. I now have 1 of each of these installed and on the system to evaluate both. I am on OS3 with a hue bridge gen 1 (I know, I know, leave me alone). The both have pros and cons. If anyone is interested, I'll write up a little summary when my eval is over. I am going to go find the best place to post some comments/questions about the Unilogiq stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
