[Shop-talk] Driveway monitors

[Brian Kemp]

I don't know how well they work, but I've seen Harbor Freight advertiser 
one frequently.  See https://www.harborfreight.com/ and search 
"driveway".  There are three models, are all currently $15.99 with about 
a four star of five rating.  This model is battery powered, but I'm sure 
you can rig a power adapter.  The receiver appears to have a 6V DC 
adapter connector.

The manual I checked didn't mention syncing the receiver to the 
transmitter, so you may be able to just get two sets.  It the sensor 
gets hit by a plow, you will have a spare.
