IIRC, enter "programming mode" & you have an hour

Presumably you knew all this when you bought &
installed the wireless system?

Yes,and I change them every two years but for this
one PIR which is 6 monthly, but hopefully now
solved.



You could also perhaps reposition it or change to
another sort of sensor - magnetic contact?

He's using wireless. How will wireless magnetic save
a lot on batteries?


What's using up the batteries in the PIR?

The radio transmission signal is likely to draw several
times more current than the PIR sensor in stand-by.


So what's using up the batteries in that particular PIR
more than the identical others that the OP has?

The repeated transmission.


So... how to reduce the number of repetitive
transmissions?

"ss" answered that early in this thread.


So did I.

So, why did you ask me the question?


Read (all) the thread .

You're unable to explain why you asked a question which had
already been answered in this thread? I think you should read
the thread, not me.


Troll.


You made a poor diagnosis and tried to cover it up. It's not so
important that you have to argue about it.


It was a suggested solution to the OP's issue, trolly.
Who's arguing? Mine are statements of fact....

Re-read the thread
:-)
(whether you understand it this time I don't GAF YMMV).
