My other PIR multisensor, on coin cell

@Neverdie
Thx. yep I understand. Each one his way, no way really better I think, your is nice too ;)
And like I said, I am much more interested in complete design. If I would like something complete, I would buy a commercial products for this kind of application or use the ikea molgan for ceiling. And you're right that PIR tends to be visible, but should not be too much visible too..that's why I prefer smaller/thinner box.
I'm now working on things which are more expensive to buy..because you can't save big money on this kind of device...That said I have no problem to design my custom box ;) The 3d box for this one is already designed, simple, for a compact 6m lense.
I enjoy to use Solidworks to design my custom 3d box (for me it's as addicitive as Eagle). I own a 3d printer and filament is cheap! And I would say I'm luckily well equipped to make all sort of diy :) An electronic lab with a reflow oven and nice tools! And a mecha part, with mini lathe, drill press, tig... and more!So you see not a problem on my side, just the time, but I have to relativise, my iot thing is not so hurry compared to my daily job. I should assemble one very soon now, things are coming. And this design is well know from TI, I have just adapted it a bit, just another alternative ;)

I see that Olimex has a version of TI's reference design. Currently $16 on Amazon, with Prme delivery. Coincell powered, small, but no enclosure.

I have looked on AZ, but can't find this version of TI's ref design. Can you provide a link?

That's funny. I thought I had posted the link. Might it have been auto-deleted from my post if it's no longer carried on Amazon?
Anyhow, at present I'm pursuing the AM612 instead.

@NeverDie I have seen reference to the Olimex version of the TI ref design in the past on other forums, but I have never seen a link to it. I have scoured the web for something that will point me to it. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

@scalz How did your testing / calibration go for the PIR ?
I would love to pay a fab house to put one of these amazing boards together as I'm sure would many other folk watching your work! :) -
@tomtastic
yes I played with different PIR sensor design :)- The other (old) thread you're linking (with booster and special PIR ic) is working well too, but if i remember I never realeased it completely because I wanted something smaller and lower power..
- And regarding this thread, it is now located https://www.openhardware.io/view/75/MyMultisensors and it works well too. It is smaller and thinner than the old board.
I have also another nice design for nrf52 (again, smaller) but actually busy with my job.
