I've got one setup in a bathroom, controlling a cat's water dish.  It has a
pump that trickles it in a waterfall.  The cat won't drink still water.
Anyway, I rigged up the EagleEye at baseboard level, the cat even seemed to
figure out it's necessary to move in front of it to trigger the water.  But
it also gets triggered when anyone uses the bathroom.  It gets triggered
about a dozen times a day.  It's also setup with an 8 minute delay.  I get a
long enough time out of the batteries such that I can't really remember how
often they need replacing.  So I'm thinking it's got to be at LEAST four
months.

Just make sure you label it with what house code and number it triggers.  So
when you have to reprogram it on replacing the batteries you don't have to
go digging for the receiver to recall which code/number it uses.
