Re: Re: motion detectors: need some input

First of all: thanks to all for all the input.

Kevin,
When you say that NETIOM will be available with xAP and/or xPL, do you
mean the device itself will send/listen to xpl messages ?  Or can the
current interface (i.e. webserver/emails/watchdog mode...) be used to
create xpl messages from that ?
If xPL is (going to be) built-in:
- when will it be available ?
- can it be upgraded with new firmware releases or so ?  Not that I
don't have confidence in Lehane ;-)

When I read the pages on VIOM and NETIOM I see a lot of different
words (which I don't understand...)  I trust you that it can be used
for the PIRs, but somebody will have to tell me how to wire the
things! (David is already a candidate if I go VIOM! :-)

About the PIRs themselves.  It seems that many outdoor models handle
big loads (240V/2000W), so they can switch lights on themselves.  Are
these kinds usable with the VIOM and/or NETIOM ?  Or should I go for
models that have max 28V alarm output or so ?   Maybe somebody can
give me a pointer to robust, ordinary PIRs for outdoor use...  Google
gives 69000 hits for "outdoor PIR".  Sigh.
