Most of the mains PIR's have volt free contacts but if you look they are
wired one side to the live feed in the terminal block. If you find one that
you like the looks of but isn't wired in this way then wire a 240vac realy
where the light is normally fed and use the contacts on the relay as volt
free. I would suggest that is using an additional realay you mount this
inside in a suitable box.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an external PIR unit, that will
work
off mains voltage but will provide a zero voltage opening or closing
contact
when it triggers ?

I'm going to use it to trigger an X10 micromodule to then run a few events
in Homeseer, but I don't like the normal X10 floodlight with PIR as it's
too
big, and the other X10 PIR unit seems to be for internal use only.

Cheers in advance
