Can the following device be used as input to a HUB5000? I'm not sure if this is only for driving a relay or if it can also provide trigger-style input.

Brand Name: YET
Model Number: YET607
Function: Auto shut-off, Anti shock, Automatic
Product name: YET607
Certificate: CE/FCC/ROHS
Distance: ≤15 meter
Power Supply: DC/AC 12 to 24V
Beam: Single beam
Waterproof: IP56
Temperature range: -25℃~55℃
Current: Rx15mA-Tx30mA
Relay Output: 1A max 36V

Assume we are providing external 12V DC power to both receiver and emitter.

If not, any other suggestions? It needs to reliably detect passing animals (single file many seconds apart), in an outdoor setting with variable lighting conditions.

This is part of a data collection and analysis project with multiple HUBs.

I worked it out. Basically, this IR TX/RX sensor has an onboard relay and can be detected by connecting the black and white wires (only) from a digital input port to the Comm and NO pins.
