Shoutout to the guy who told me to try a dual-tech sensor on a tough commercial site

I spent three years strictly using PIRs on warehouse interiors until last month when a fellow installer at a supply house in Dayton convinced me to swap in a dual-tech for a zone that kept falsing from forklift heaters. Now I'm kicking myself for not making the switch sooner - anyone else have a stubborn zone they finally tamed with a different sensor type?

What makes you so sure the dual-tech won't just give you a different kind of false alarm down the road? I've seen those microwave sensors pick up vibrations from nearby conveyor systems or even a guy walking too fast past a rack. PIRs were a pain sometimes, but at least you knew what was causing the false triggers.

Yeah, microwave can be just as bad honestly.
