Sensor to detect standing at the top (or bottom) of the stairs

Your house is upside down

As per the manual:

The Iris Motion Sensor has 120◦ coverage. For best results when mounting the motion sensor:
• Below 5 feet, battery door should face down.
• Above 5 feet, battery door should face up

I don't see anything in the manual that says you should turn your house upside down. Instead you should turn the sensor upside down.

Hope that helps. I'm going to go take my nap now.

I know it's not very funny, but I hurt my back this week so I'm on some very nice meds...so everything seems funny to me.

Oh, and seriously (as much as I can) I didn't actually know that. Thanks for sharing.

Yup. And the wedge can be taken out and the stair frame/baluster returned to as it was with minimal effort.
