Stopped working when it got cold did it? Common problem many of them
become less sensitive when cold. You may be able to adjust it.


Well, actually, many sensors get less
sensitive when it gets hot outside. When
everything is near 100 degrees,
including your body, the sensor can't
tell the
difference.



I notice that with a motion-sensing switch in my garage. It becomes
less reliable in the summer.
