I just finished what turned out to be probably the biggest smarthome project I’ve tackled so far - adding solar powere smart lighting to my wood shed. It’s totally over engineered, but looks great and works really well. It’s been a long time coming because I’ve had the components sitting around for nearly a year! Check out my full write up (with lots of photos) below:

How are you thinking of constructing the outdoor motion detector?

I’m going to try an IP65 rated case with a clear front panel and see if the detector works through it. I will be battery powered with wireless comms, so should be completely self contained.
