Can this unit be used with a photo sensor so that the door will open/slose according to sunrise/sunset?

This Poultry door comes with a photo sensor to open and close Sunrise/ Sunset

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!

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

My experience is that it works pretty well installed on a door frame. I have installed the motion sensor light about 16 inches above eye level and it comes on each time I pass the doorway.

No it can't - it can be set for multiple times but not for sunset & sunrise.

although it is motion sensored, it does work from dusk to dawn, i leave the light switch on all the time where it is connected.

I have one of these sensors connected to a dual floodlight mounted above and between the doors of my two-car garage and it works fine to illuminate the short double-wide driveway leading from the street to the garage. I'm not sure how it would with your decorative lighting as it is intended to screw into the mount for the dual floodlight unit; but I'd bet a qualified electrician could connect some wiring (possibly through a conduit) to another lamp away from the dual floodlight unit it's intended for.

Ahhhh, duh, only if the sensor is able to see motion! You need to ask yourself, can the sensor see any motion, from being covered by the shade? No? Then the answer is No. Who asks some of these questions......

Yes. It will not come on during the day when it senses motion, but the little red light on the sensor will blink.

The solar unit has a photocell-like sensor that powers the light unit as it gets dark. There is nothing technical about setting the light and solar unit up as long as you can operate a screw driver

A. No, light sensor leaves light off during day even when motion detected. B. If light switch is off, lights are off and sensor has no control.

I have installed the sensors on my sliding gate and my pedestrian gate. I feared that the weather may affect them, but they have been there for many months in all types of weather and have performed flawlessly. My sensors are approximately 15- 20 metres from the base unit. The answer to your question is YES (even though they are advertised as "window and door sensors")

Yes, it has a photo day/night sensor, but you can disable it if you'd like. These lights do stay off during the day.

Not sure...but as a suggestion your wasting your money if using it as a door sensor...

Mine is also set up on a switch with a photo cell keeping it off during the day. A motion sensor is not included, but there should not be any reason you couldn't wire a motion sensor into the junction box. See (Heath/Zenith SL-5407-BZ-B) or similar.

This model does have a light sensor and turns on a dusk and off at dawn. I have been using it for years with no problems.

Yes. The window must be opened before the system is armed and it will ignore that sensor.
