    stairs as a room ..

    how about treating stairs & the two landings as just a Room ...

    eliminating the Stairs as a Cortex object ...

    and having the Rooms on separate Floors joined by just the Room ...

    would Cortex be OK with that ?

      The sensor was wired directly into the QAI units inputs and took power from the idranet connector.
      I have not yet calibrated it to return the measured distance. It is just activating on measurement deltas at the moment.
      It has been on the network for about two months so far and seems to be very quick and reliable. It would be nice to play with it a little to get motion direction working but with a new born just arrived into the house we are a little distracted at the moment

        I have not installed any dual beam units so cannot recommend any.
        Also cannot really say that the efficacy of a dual beam unit is significantly better than a single beam unit.


        We recently installed one of these...



        The Retro reflective photo electric sensor. This was outside mounted across a drive and seems to work well. This is in contrast to a similar looking unit from CPC which seemed to be affect by sunlight.
