Motion Detector?????

Do anyone of you have a motion detector that alerts you by a flashing lamp? I know it may not be perfect. I just had a weird brain storm while eating my dinner.

I was wondering if a motion detector would be good to put by my driveway to alert me of my bus pulling into my driveway..... Of course, I know I would get false alarms with deer and whatnot meandering across my driveway.

I was wondering because sometimes, my bus comes way early (not a bad thing, really) and I never know that they're there waiting for me. I missed a couple of bus rides because of this.

What do you think? I've never had a motion detector before, ever. Hopefully a wireless kind.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds interesting.

You might be able to put it through a "light switch," so when you are expecting the bus, you can switch it on. And if you're not expecting anything, turn it off, so the deer don't trip it.

I'd just ask the bus driver (I'm assuming this is a private bus?) to text/call you when they arrive, if they're early.
