Outdoor, pet friendly PIR
I don't see how you can have a pir that works that does not detect pets. It
is after all just detecting changes in the heat radiation as something moves
across domains on the sensore one assumes. This would need some smarts to
ignore certain profiles.

I currently have a security light on my garage (at the bottom of the
garden) and used both for security and simply to see my way to the garage
in the dark, but I need to add one to the shed next to it, as it is set
back and in darkness alongside, making it difficult to get there without
tripping over in the garden or stepping in puddles (very heavy clay soil).
Rather than two independent lights, I'd like to put a single PIR with 270°
coverage on the corner of the garage and operate both together.
The existing light is a nuisance, as it is frequently triggered by cats.
I have looked for pet friendly, outdoor PIRs, but only seem to find
wireless ones that link into security systems. Has anyone seen a wired
version? Do I need to add protection to an indoor one instead?
