no not the same ( Static power consumption 6x higher, they use different ldo)
I like power walls when they are mobile…

6x higher static power consumption due to ldo quiescent current?
LDO on mine is marked HT30. I measured 13.7 uA in rest, 15uA when active.
AS312 max VDD is 3.6V. If good 3.3V power supply is available the ldo could even be removed.
From AS312 datasheet
Thanks - I will take a look at them - though 3-5m range is a bit short as Rob suggests…mind if ceiling mounted looking down of inclined with 100deg cone then ok for poss occupancy sensor esp if placed with view of entry/exit points (doors). 
Im not in the ‘mood’ now, but I did a lot of PIR testing 2 years back… have more then 10 different types here
will test again that one you say is 13.7 uA @3v3 … 
(no way!)
keep us informed !

Your tests from 2 years ago make impossible that a test with my PIR modules now show readings of 13.7uA in rest and 14.8uA active?
Like you said, their range is quite limited. I did some simple tests and did not get more than 3m to 5m range.
lol… that’s why you can’t say ’ You can try this one (similar module and 3+ times cheaper)
I didn’t realise yesterday it was after midnight So I didn’t setup a test with the pir, but your right, they could have changed the components/design So the outcome of a test with 'my PIR’s would be always open to discussion.
I found only 2 PIR’s working reliable with a power consumption under the 15 uA @3v3 and those where not the cheapest.
conclusion : not all PIR’s are equal 
(especially outdoor use)

yes I know them… about 20 E if I remember 1 uA
I bought on eBay for $4/piece, an old version: EKMA1101111. I have no idea if the item is still available…
Fyi, Welectron (Germany) shows they have uCurrent Gold on stock:

no import tax to NL and DHL shipping 3.95 € … not bad
SMD always frightened me a bit, and I tried to avoid it so far, but I eventually decided to bite the bullet with this Mini-Lora from @Charles …
It ended up quite OK, I am quite happy with the result.
(Still waiting the Arduino Pro for testing)

with that soldering iron from the picture ? … cool
a nice project with these sensors LoRA BME280 Environmental Node (with webbased backend)

150W was maybe a bit too much for SMD 
my WD-1 was more appropriate for the job 
Indeed!
I don’t have plans yet for these nodes, I was mainly looking at low power sleep and these are really affordable…
If it’s your first SMD soldering, congratulations, very well done

I have no idea of what to do with that, but it is quite cool…
Yep…
I have 5 of these, I think it should be enough for a marquee
