What are the motion sensor options?

If it's for home automation, those motion sensors will do. I have an Elk M1, which can interface X10-RF using the W800RF (RF receiver for X10 hardware), and allows me to use my X10 stick-on-wall
switches , X10 motion sensors, DS10A door/windows sensors and some other gadgets. The X10-RF hardware isn't bad at all (IMO) as long as you understand the limitations.

I just cannot get these motion sensors to act reliably! Assuming I just totally start over what are my options for any system? I am to the point where money is not an issue or I am just giving up. Worst case would two redundant sensors work reliably?
 
Get an Elk and wired motion sensors, and never worry again.

The rf part seems to work ok, it's just that sensors don't seem to trigger reliably. I really want to stick with rf since I rent

Insteon has a motion detector coming out soon. The recently made a significant amount of improvements to it and there are a few more suggestions floating around on their forum (some are being deleted).

Zwave has a motion also.

The ELK can use RF motions as well.
