Hi

Im looking to automate my front external lights so that they only come
on when there is movement at the front drive.  Ive currently got 2
lights wired into an LD11 but I want to have them either dimmed or off
and only come to full brightness when someone is there.

Ive seen the x10 flood lights on letsautomate.com (
http://www.letsautomate.com/10222.cfm?
) but I dont really need the
flood, just the sensor.  I do remember there being a wireless outdoor
version of the MS13 but cant seem to find it on any HA websites?

If no-one knows of another way of doing this and I end up buying the x10
flood does anyone have any thoughts/pitfalls about it.  Does it need
mounting in a special US back box and can you use it without the flood
lights?

I haven't got homevision by the way as im controlling things from a PC
so the standard PIR option is out I think.

Thanks in advance

Stu Worrall
