Wireless IR sensor or switch and receiver box design

[burts]

Not sure what response or joy I will get from being here but maybe someone can point me in the right direction.
I have an idea/invention I want to investigate. My idea will require either and IR motion sensor or switch that wirelessly links to a receiver box that in turn powers a motorised port valve. Any electronics engineers out there who have experience in this or can point me in a direction to whom I could approach about this?

What you describe is already available off the shelf.

This is the motion sensor https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LMESD1.html

This is the matching receiver https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/LMESR1.html This could easily be used to switch a standard central heating type motorised valve.

I will take a look, I didn't think I invented that by the way
That's just part of an idea I have but to do a mock set up I can use parts already out there

I need a much smaller sensor, like ones they use in auto taps? And a multiple channel reciever?

No, but if somebody already has can you invent it again?

That's not how invention works.

People struggle to successfully invent things when they don't really know anything about the technology needed.

I'm not trying to invent anything, I'm trying to put together a few things and adapt them slightly to solve a big problem in my trade. Before I look in to how it all works, I want to run a mock test using similar items. If you've no advice, don't try and give me a disguised insult

Sorry - for some reason I thought you were. I wonder if this might be the reason:

I have an idea/invention I want to investigate.

I didn't.
