• Cheers, that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. I had a Ring camera before though and wasn't too keen on how it worked.

    @jellybaby that's something I'm pondering (albeit a wireless one triggering a connected switch) but the mounting options are pretty limited as there are patio doors, so it would either have to be floor level or right in a corner and I'm not sure how well those would work.

  • A standalone PIR is a tenner. Build something temporary (but not actually dangerous...) and test it. I feel anything with computer vision or wireless is over complicated and will suck in the long run.

  • I have a Hue PIR that I'll test it out with first. There's nothing smart about the PIR part so should hopefully give me a decent idea of whether any of the positions would be viable.
