Best Outdoor motion detector

What is a good outdoor motion sensor, with lights, to get for a beginner?

I’m starting to get into Home Automation slowly. Right now, I’m thinking about getting the Smart Things V2 hub when it’s available.

In my driveway, I have regular floodlights with a motion sensor, but they’re old and don’t connect to anything. They stopped working recently, so I want to replace them. I thought this could be my first connected device.

But I can’t find a device that has both motion sensors and floodlights together. Do such devices exist? If not, can I buy a motion sensor and floodlights separately and put them up next to each other?

This is for outdoors, in my driveway where there’s no roof. I’m thinking of using Z-wave technology, but I’ve heard a good hub can work with different types of technology, so maybe it doesn’t matter which one I choose?

Thanks for your help.

Check out the Optex RLS 2020. You didn’t say anything about price, so there ya go. Lol

I choose The LEONLITE LED Motion Sensor Flood Light. It provides numerous features, and straightforward installation, all at an affordable price point. It suits a variety of scenarios, despite its somewhat lacking design aesthetics.
