Re: Occupancy detection

["rectorydp" <dpullen@xxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen any responses to this but since it is definitely "on
topic" I thought I should repost.

I am really interested in trying to run occupancy detection in
parallel to any security system and would like to identify sensitive
PIRs that could be used to do that (along with other types of
sensors). I don't even envisage them being in the usual type of PIR
enclosure but perhaps being rather more discrete. The Matushita
sensors looked good but they seem to have disappeared from the Rapid
catalogue.

So has anyone found any appropriate devices and Patrick have you had
any more success with the Matsushitas including finding alternative
suppliers.

Thanks
David
