I installed directional fixtures on the high walls in the upstairs, triggered by a motion sensor in the living room. It appears the wall switch sensors require upwards of 60 watts of load to function properly. I'd prefer to use a security sensor because of their greater range and daylight sensitivity, however they have to drive an even greater load. Hopefully somebody will solve this, given the prevalence of cfls and leds.

Raspberry Pi security alarm - the basics :: Cavelab blog - Stories from the Cavelab

 In November last year - I started building a DIY security alarm system, using a Raspberry Pi as the controller. My plan was to make a self-sustained system, using proper alarm hardware - like PIR sensors and sirens. Integration with Home Assistant would be an add-on, not a requirement.
