Motion sensors
Discussion
Hi does anyone know of a stand-alone motion sensor which can send notifications to my iphone when triggered?
When I say stand alone I mean either with a SIM card slot or at a push it could be connected to wifi.
Long battery life is a must (could even be mains powered), and reasonable cost as I need a few.
Does such a thing exist without camera etc?
Thanks for any advice.

In for the result as thinking about it, I would like something like that that is GSM/3g linked for a garage solution.
Something like this? (you can turn the siren off)

Edit: The first review made me laugh.
I have set this up in my detached garage while we are having our house renovated. The garage has no power so I needed a battery powered device. I bought an 02 pay as you go SIM card and set the device up using the clear instructions which were supplied. I set it to silent mode and entered my mobile number as the default contact. Then tonight I got a call as I was leaving a friend. The caller came up as 'GARAGE ALARM!!' - which I had saved in my contacts. I headed over to the garage thinking that it was probably a fault. I got there in 5 minutes and immediately noticed that this was not a false alarm. I dialled 999 immediately. After a few minutes a 'getaway' car pulled up, the suspect bolted, got in the car, and the car sped off - only to be blocked by the police at the bottom of the road. They got him. Amazing. Besides the broken gate, shed door and garage door I havn't lost anything; only my Ultra Secure PIR which the t
t threw in the pond. I've immediately ordered a replacement. Quality product. Read the instructions properly and you will have yourself a great little gadget. Tonight it stopped someone from stealing my beloved Hayter lawnmower. Brilliant.

If you can get wifi then I'd recommend Amazon's Blink cameras.
The battery lasts for 2 years (and counting) and the video notification lets you decide whether it's a false alarm.
You can also just view the camera live.
If wifi is an issue then you could install something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-RT-AC51U-Dual-band-W...
You can also do things like use IFTTT to turn on a philips hue bulb when a Blink is activated.
I did see that you didn't want a camera, apologies if this is off topic.
