Will this work on the front of my garage (one on each side of the garage door) for a motion sensor for my driveway?

It will. Turn the sensor on both to opposite direction so that it gives a 180 degree coverage.

It works perfect on my porch...for the garage it will work... only I don't think it will light it up like a spot light will.

It will work well for that application. The sensor senses motion out as far as thirty feet at our house, so the lights should come on as you approach the garage. I suspect that being mounted a bit higher gives them greater range. We have been quite pleased with this unit.

I don't see why not. When I pull in my driveway the light comes on right away. I would imagine it would do same in front of garage. Plus the fixture is very appealing!

I have the sensor nailed to a tree about three feet off the ground. It is very sensitive. I think installed at an angle above the garage would work. The receiver in the house works very well and beeps three times everytime something passes the sensor, could be a car, animal, or garbage man. Do not put the receiver near metal like a microwave it seems to block the radio waves. Also when the transmitter is rained on sometimes you get false readings. I put a plastic shroud over the top made from a yogurt container. Overall I am very pleased with the product and for the price it is a very good value. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, they most definitely will. Unfortunately the motion sensors do not have a sensitivity adjustment. Perhaps you can make use of them by mounting them in any rooms where the pets aren't allowed, like the garage or a work-shed.

Absolutely not. It even did not work for my garage. If you do not mind waste your money you could give the product a try.

David, you may want to visit the SmartThings web site for detailed information about each "smart thing." There are sensors that can be affixed on objects you want to sense movement of. Other sensors can be affixed to walls (i.e. motion sensors), cabinets/doors (i.e. open/close sensors), key chains and pet collars (i.e. presence sensors), etc. I do not have the driveway sensor, personally, but I'd assume it would need line-of-sight to sense activity in your driveway. I've had SmartThings for several months and love it! -Will

I think so. If it is flush mounted to a wall the sensor will not point straight down but should still pick up movement from underneath it. The lights will get close but cannot go straight down without hitting the motion sensor.

Yes it will as long as the solar panel will get 6-8 hours of sunlight. I have two of them and they work great. The motion sensor works up to about 10-15 feet away, perfect

Yes- I mounted the senor on an exterior LED light assembly over the front door. I modified the light enclosure to accept the sensor and wired it into the 115 volt wiring inside the light without a problem. Worked first time!

Depends on the distance from the front door to the rest of your house. It works well on the outside gate for us.

you would have to ask Homedics about that. frankly, I could not get the outdoor sensor provided with my unit to work at all. I finally had to return it for credit.

The multi sensors can be attached to the inside of windows or doors by adhesive tape. I am not sure what you mean by "driveway sensor". The kit comes with a motion sensor, but it is not rated for outdoor use. It has the ability to be mounted with a screw or by adhesive tape.

It should.. these sensors detect distances (from the sensors to the object that is close)

It mounts flat to the SIDE of something like a wall or the exterior side of an eave. It is not meant to be hung either upside down or from a celing. I am sure it would still work, but my concern would be the sensor would be pointing straight down. You would have to be underneath it for the sensor to kick on.

There is a sensitivity sitting...when we 1st installed ours it would flip the light on when a car would turn the corner in front of our house because the headlights would shine in. The window is a privacy window..distorted not like a clear window. If your window is clear and the motion sensor/switch is pointed at the window I would think it would work but if it's dark out which is probably why you want it then it may not "see" the movement to flip on. I use it in my front entry (with privacy glass beside the door)and it doesn't come on until I open the door.

Yes, it would work fine. The sensor is located in the post and below the light fixture. The frosted glass therefore will not affect the sensor's ability to detect motion. It can be set to come on at dusk for the amount of time you set. It works perfectly and mine is one of the best purchases I have made.

Yes. I have one on the garage wall focused on the driveway and one on my front wall by the porch. So far, both have worked very well even after the heavy rains we had recently in Los Angeles.

I have mine on front porch, vertically with the sensor towards the ground. It seems to work all the way around.
