is the sensor square on to the door, or is it in the corner?

Corner mate, and yes 100% on minimum. It's fine when PIR isnt triggered obviously, but bit of a pain if I trig the pir on exit, 60 sec on exit doing the trick at the moment, but if someone hangs around a bit longer then leaves it might pose a problem. The other thing I had in mind was using one of the outputs on the trigger header, setting it to power up on arm, but that detector takes ages to initialise on start up, also not sure if it triggers at some point during start up.

yeah dont be powering it down like that.

i think your only option is to move it.

You may try moving the sensor left or right as the mic on the horn is more powerful just at the edges, so a small treak into the wall may help you.

Just had another thought, might try setting the pulse count on PIR to "2" i.e. Low.

can you not switch the microwave off when unset - so called "greenline" technology?

[james.wilson]

wont stop the mic going through the door, but thats a risco only tech afaik

its a bodge but was just wondering about getting a delay from it

Q - setting the detector as "part set entry" device rather than "access" - would that make a difference?

[james.wilson]

nope not if its activating quickly

one thing might work

put the dt on slow zone response and the door on fast

Rebuild the front wall and move the door 3 foot forward. Sorted.

.... or change the detector for a different make that will allow you to reduce the range

just double knock the bloody thing

......... I think this is where I came in
