I have a Optex LX-402. I bought it base on previous discussion on this forum. I guess I'll mount it to cover exclusively the porch and I'll buy others to cover the driver and other sides on the house.

Found it after further research on the forums. I had to set the zones for fast response Now instant light on or off .. Optex OS-12C works as expected. Now I need to set a second set of IR on the door frame and program some sort of people counter logic to know when to turn on or off the light...
