Derive low voltages signal/output from PIR floodlight?
I would like to derive an audio alert from a PIR floodlight. To be more
specific: let's say I have the floodlight above a back window and driven from a three-pin plug from inside. I would be happy to bring additional cabling from the PIR. Or maybe forget that floodlight (I have another outside fed from the garage) and use an external low voltage PIR to feed an audio alert and/or switch on a light (even low voltage). I doesn't have to be DIY; off the shelf solutions welcome! Just thinking ... I suppose there is nothing to stop me feeding 240V back from the switched supply to the floodlight. Rationale: I'm interested in being alerted about potential burglaries /before/ they enter; a few nights ago I heard was awoken by burglars attempting to force a window. I assume also, that an audion alert just loud enough to be heard outside might be a deterrent. I'm sort of reluctant to fit a proper alarm; many reasons, but the main one is that they tend to elart you only after the burgulars have gained entry. TIA, Jon C. |
