New infrared motion sensor

post by ddaddy1982 on Jul 17, 2025

Can you please consider a motion sensor that integrates with the Rachio controllers that can be used to activate sprinklers when deer is detected.

Or anyone knows of such a sensor currently in existence that can point to.

Many thanks,

Well, not directly with Rachio, but you can use cameras or motion sensors through various home automations or even IFTTT to trigger a zone. I played with this years ago with a ring camera, Smartthings, and Rachio. Worked well to surprise the neighbors dog that kept pooping in my yard…
