I appreciate all the comments and ideas. They are all a bit above my pay grade however. But, I can learn. I am thinking of getting this 80 piece Particle Maker Kit from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HZFS0PE?aaxitk=pneNT3rT3XhgMcS0LMxLmw&pd_rd_i=B01HZFS0PE&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=5582544217303223519&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_i=esp8266&hsa_cr_id=7664064650501#feature-bullets-btf
to get started learning about building IoT devices. It doesn’t say in the description that it is an ESP8266, but when I search that term, this comes up. I’m not sure if this will meet my original objective, but it sounds like fun. Any opinions or experiences with Particle?
As far as my original post - I failed to mention the track I was on that I thought was going to get me where I was going. I took a standard outdoor motion spot and covered the photocell so it always thought it was dark. I disconnected the parallel connection of motion sensor from the light. I was going to hook the motion detector in series to 1 channel on a 2 channel Sonoff, with that channel set to ON on power up with no output. When the motion detector closed the circuit and restored power to the Sonoff, I hoped that would trigger an IFTTT applet with the trigger ‘When Sonoff Channel 1 turns on’ and action ‘Send Notification’. Then connect the second channel to the light, power up state OFF on power up, and with a combination of IFTTT and Stringify, turn the light on only ‘if nighttime’ and off after 10 minute timer. As you can tell, I don’t want the light going on during the day. It’s a long story..
I really thought I had it figured out, but the Sonoff doesn’t seem to send a signal of Turned On after power up. All I really need is an IFTTT compatible device, (in place of Channel 1 on the Sonoff), that could trigger IFTTT on power up. Then I would have exactly what I want with a PIR that is meant to be outdoor. The only other possible flaw in that plan is the potential for false positives, etc. during daylight with a PIR that is designed for use in the dark. (As mentioned by @idetectanerd.)
Long post, and not sure if I explained it well. Thanks again for your input.
