Hey All,

I have 11 low voltage outside led lights in a line on the driveway , I want to PIR them at the bottom to trigger when I come home and a PIR at the back door to trigger them when I leave the house.

I believe if set with enough time delay then this will allow me to come home , trigger the first , park up and be seen by the second so the lights dont go off till Im indoors. I would like the option of just turning the lights on manually too.

Distance from 1st led to last is about 60m - I saw some wireless kit online like View: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Friedland-Spectra-L620BLK-Wirefree-receiver/dp/B007AQ234I
would this work? Although they do look like old models or better with two PIRs top and bottom in parallel then connected to the lights?

Are all sentinel PIRs capable of Parallel wiring?
How do I know if they have override or is that just in the wiring of the switch?

Total DIYer , just starting out researching this so any and all advice is really welcome.

thanks in advance.

David.
