peer agreement (net): +1PIR = Passive Infra-Red (presence / mouvement detector) Explanation: It is in fact already an EN acronym! Very commonly used in FR like this, French language purists notwithstanding. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2013-09-04 19:58:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, getting my languages muddled up: please read 'movement detector'! :-( -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2013-09-04 20:00:09 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Note than in FR they are very often described as 'presence detectors', whereas in EN they are probably more commonly known as 'movement detectors'. |
