[QUOTE="Amature Automater, post: 507929, member: 33646"] I have several Steinel HF3600 PIRs. They were wired in by a professional electrician with Live, Neutral and Switched Live. Each one's switched live is linked to the switch input on a separate home automation micro module e.g. Fibaro FGS211, which are between 3 and 5 meters of wiring away. The problem is that if I put a meter between Neutral and the Switched Live I am reading between 60 and 100V AC. When the PIR actually switches it goes to 240V of course but the transition from 60V to 240v and back again is not registered by the micro module as actually being switched - it needs to get a lot closer to 0V I am guessing. I had some advice to place a mains rated resistor from switched live to neutral to try and pull the voltage down but this did not seem to make any difference. Interested in thoughts. [/QUOTE]
