Outdoor PIR on Home Assistant for less than $10. Replace RING motion sensor.

In this video I take an outdoor PIR sensor that I bought at a rummage sale for $3, and connect it to a Tasmotized Sonoff SV that I had already set up as a garage door button In Home Assistant and Google Home.

Included is the wiring, mounting, assembly, and set-up of the Tasmota software and the Home Assistant software to make this work in my system to replace my RING doorbell motion sensor that fails more than it works.

If you want to skip ahead to programming, here are some time syncs:
20:34 – Start of Tasmota configuration of the Sonoff SV
26:53 – Start of Home Assistant programming
