I'm looking for some help selecting the best Bosch PIRs for inside my home (Elk install with an ISY). Questions are:
1 - When would I use a Blue Line Gen2 Quad PIR vs the Gen2 TriTech Detector?
2 - I have a 50' hallway which will cover 5 possible entries. I assume the Bosch DS778 Long Range Detector is best?
3 - I have a 20' x 35' living room which will cover 3 possible entries. Would the Quad PIR or the TriTech Detector be better?
4 - Even though we don't/won't have pets I assume using the Pet-Friendly versions would make sense for resale?
5 - Bonus Question: I am planning to add some occupancy sensors for home automation. Which brands/model work well?
I understand PIRs are susceptible to false alarms. I plan on triggering the alarm after 2 PIRs are triggered with a certain period of time.
Thanks for the help!
