@early_riser At some point I'm going to put a sensor in our crawl space. Mainly to track humidity but I've been debating including a motion sensor. Honestly I'm not sure I want to know how often things are lurking under the house! #HomeAssistant

As long as the sensor only picks up stuff that's rat-size or larger then it's fine. If there are something "large" down there, it can be a hazard to the house foundation. I'd say it's better to know. 😉

@jongranrose @early_riser FYI, vampires don't trigger motion sensors. So if you do it and the sensor doesn't go off, you probably have vampires.

Logical next step: home assistant connected auto turret?
