Default IR detector problem - affected by high winds.

In article -
september.org, lid says...

Spiders? Wouldn't they cause problems irrespective of whether
it is windy or not? The PIR is fairly new and, as far as I
know, is well sealed (but I will inspect it closely in
daylight.)


I left it for a day to let the monsoon pass over but looked
yesterday.

Absolutely no way for even a momey spider to get in there!

I will have to assume that it is just some of the bushes
moving in the wind. It isn't easy to get to the controls so I
won't bother adjusting the sensitivity as on non high wind
nights it works exactly as we want it to.
