Aside from the canadian company that sells it - anyone use another motion sensor to replace these? Mine leaked after the first rainstorm.

There used to be an item made by Manor house and sold by Lowes that would work

I contacted my home security company to get a list of sensors that are compatible with my existing security system. This one was one of those in the list. I would suggest you to do the same.

I don't sell driveway alerts. This one did not work for me, so I chose another more expensive one and the motion sensor has now stopped working after five days of the arrival.

Did you try pressing the "-" icon on top? You may need to do it a few times. Other than that you may be right that the sensor is the problem. Contact the company if the problem continues.

I've had mine for 8 months -- it's been rained on, went through a winter, and now is sweltering in the heat of an Arizona summer and is still working. Perhaps you did get a bad sensor.

Glenn, go on e-bay and ask vendor for compatible sensor they sent me the P409S sensors for replacement.

I had a sensor problem with mine at 3 months. They sent me a replacement board and was easy to install. Board was warranty and if I remember correctly they paid shipping both ways for new board and return of defective board. I was mad at first but think they handled it pretty well. No problems since at 8 months.

I think you can purchase replacement sensors from Big Bike Parts. You would have to contact them at info@bigbikeparts.com with your question. Although I have had to replace on of the sensor batteries, the sensors have been trouble free. The receiver unit is NOT waterproof though.

Buy a different thermostat?? This doesn't seem to be designed to handle an outside sensor...

You are better off replacing both and this kit will do it. I had the same issue in which I only needed one. But you are hard pressed to find just one sensor that will work. Save yourself the headache and use a kit.

Follow the packaged instructions which I thought were quite adequate. This is a link http://www.heath-zenith.com//data/manuals/595-5578-08.pdf to a PDF of the manual for the type I installed which I think may be very similar in the installation to that pictured in customer S. Pike's question. Adjustment of the motion sensor and other settings were important to my satisfaction and may be to S. Good luck!

I returned this bulb. The motion sensor did not work well. I bought these instead on Amazon....Viridi Motion Activated 8.1 Watt LED Bulb (2 Pack).I had them since March 2013. And they work great. The Viridi ones do not come on during the daytime. I installed them at my outdoor covered patio. But I noticed Amazon does not have them available right now.

Did you buy it locally or from Amazon? Big box stores also sell this unit and probably would accept a return. Amazon should be able to answer your question if you bought it through them. I saw some of the other responses... it is necessary for the temp to be right and for there to be moisture on the sensor. I tested mine by pouring some water over the sensor when the temp was right. I don't remember what the right temp range is but it should be listed in your installation guide. Mine work pretty well and have saved me thousands in gutter repair. I hope that yours will do the same.

I agree w/ Gary because I did just that. It's cheaper and also the replacement sensor that I purchased thru Amazon, Heath / Zenith SL5316 is the best one I've had because you can adjust the range so the unit doesn't go off when vehicles go by. Also, unlike other units I've had, it doesn't keep going on & off when it's windy or raining

Seems like the touch sensor control has died. You can buy a replacement module. Easy to install.

Hi patrick,I never purchased a motion sensor, just the switch, so I can't really comment on it's functions.

First glance, didn't see a rain sensor connection, but the manual does mention that one is available and can be connected. I don't have one.
