I hope I am in the right place to ask for suggestions about interfacing a motion sensor.
For years, I had a Heath/Zenith SL-5210-GR-B operating my low voltage driveway lights. Motion detector was controlling AC power feeding electronic garden transformer thru the interface box that is part of the above unit. Box has a dry contact relay inside. I tried other motion detectors (120V AC) before, but they did not work with the electronic transformer, causing it to "chatter". I assume the load was not enough to switch it on permanently.
Anyway, Heath quit production of the unit, and mine just died. System down...
I am trying to find the way to add the relay to the stand-alone 120V AC motion sensor (it needs to be an outdoor unit, like HZ-5316, HZ-5407, SL-5407 (all these models are by Heath)) or any other sensor. Electronic transformer will, apparently, not work with non-relay (triac) output.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
