Looking for an Outdoor& Batteryless Motion Sensor for Hue/ Zigbee

Hardware
1

Hi,

anyone having a product hint?

I am looking for a motion detector which works with my Hue/ Zigbee.

It should be designed for outdoor use and have a power connection (230V) as I do not want to change batteries every now and then…

Hints? Links?

Thanks a lot!

I’ve been looking for a similar device to US standards. Everything seems to be not appropriate, or too expensive for what it is. And none of the devices work with any networked home automation system, either. My first attempt is to place an AM312 mini PIR sensor and an ESP8266 within an outdoor IR motion detector shell that I’ve gutted. Haven’t gotten back to it in a few days, unfortunately. Add a USB transformer and it will work with Home Assistant and ESPHome.

I use the outdoor Hue motion sensors. They work great but they do run on AA batteries. My AA battery so far has lasted over 2 years and is still reporting to home assistant at over 50%

Yeah, I don’t think the batteries are really going to be a problem.

I first used an HC-SR501 but found it to be too bulky and less reliable. Switched to the AM312 mini PIR sensor and that outdoor shell and its Fresnel lens worked perfectly with the sensor. More than enough room inside the shell for the sensor and a ESP8266 D1 Mini clone board. It did take a bit of wrangling to get the USB cord through the adjustable neck behind the sensor, but that was the most difficult part.

They are and that is the reason why I am asking. On a single device batteries might not be a problem. But when really having lots of device you are going to change batteries every now and then.
Despite of the envrionmental waste I am getting nuts when I have to change batteries so often- mostly exactly the time when you need the device to work.
Just calculate: assume the battery in the device lasts two years. When I have ten devices (which is not uncommon for a smart home) I have to change batteries every two months on one device. This is not going to work.
I am aware of the Philips thing and it would be nearly perfect. If it would not be on batteries.

@FredTheFrog : Thanks for the ideas but I an not very good in soldering and stuff like this. I prefer a ready-to-use device.

So anyone else having hints/ ideas?
