After a few months of extensive system expansion... My WAF

WAF was sky-high on the laundry announcer. It was boosted by the driveway sensor here

Driveway sensors not using motion detectors?

When I came home last night a buck and a couple of does were getting frisky (Well, the buck was frisky. The does, not so much.) beside my driveway. This is the reason motion or beam detectors won't work here. I set up the MM magnetic sensor and it worked without any tweaking. The indoor receiver has a feeble alarm making it pretty much worthless unless you're nearby when it sounds. (That sells secondary receivers, of course.) This setup definitely needs HE to make it viable. Here's the tuto…

I have to keep reminding her that it's the background stuff where HE really pulls its weight --water heater timers, motion detection, leak detection. But she'd buy it just for the laundry notification. (But we need a mesh, so I'm home free on all the other devices.)
