Would not think so. That is what I use.

Saw this on FB, what a weird setup for their zones. No wonder Sth Melbourne ran into strife.

Which bright spark thought it was a good idea to stick Geelong's area straddling the Murray in to NSW, instead of one of the regions adjacent to it? It smacks of gerrymandering.

I've got a outdoor sensor light that gets triggered when its windy.
now you might say its detecting movement from the wind, but there is nothing in the vicinity, and I have the sensitivity on the lowest setting.
I even went to the extent to cover the sensor completely, and it still was getting triggered when windy.
Any ideas anyone???

Is it a hard wired or bayonet plug in?
I have a bayonet sensor light that did similar.
I took it down and cleaned it and now it only triggers when it should.

It is a PIR sensor

yeah doing that next week.
Did some more googling, and a change in temperature can trigger PIR sensors. In the area this one is, it is exposed to a southerly wind which is most nights at my house, and would swirl off the neighbours wall adjoining my property line, so thinking it is that heat off their wall being picked up by the wind and into the sensor.

Not sure changing it would fix it so hopefully they change the type of sensor. in saying that it still triggered when i had the sensor covered which I would have thought would remove the temp variation.

So driving North on KWS today and had google maps running to my destination in Norwood, google maps is so smart it can tell me when and where there are live traffic issues, however it still wanted me to take a right hand turn from KWS onto North Tce when that is clearly not available and hasn't been for years, WTF?

Not this specific location in the back streets of Norwood, however was running late for a meeting as I had to pick up a document from someone in KWS (drive by) and wanted the quickest way there

Fair enough.

I know those streets pretty well, have been known to use a back route* to the city when Payneham Rd has been gridlocked.

Try doing that in any other capital. :D

There is a joke about trams to be made here but I'm too lazy to think it through properly.
