I'm going to finish off my UPB interface software and apply it improve the performance of my road floodlights. In essence I want to replicate the functionality of the X10 floodlights where motion detection is reported and On/Off control of lights can be achieved.
After the repeated babble failure modes of the X10 and Leviton products I implemented a make-shift combination of Home Depot motion sensors, powerflash, and X10 floodlights in a mode where they only use the On/Off control capability.
My thinking now is to use the IO UPB module where motion detection becomes the input and the output side is connected to a 120V relay to power the lights. I'm looking for design suggestions on the motion input side of this setup and other ideas that may make for a easier/better solution.
