Simplest circuit to connect/diconnect a wire.

A single MOSFET did not work.
Two MOSFETS with connected source to source and gate to gate did not work either.
The only thing that finally worked was the following:
SilverSolder:
That looks good. Funny how even the simplest projects can end up surprisingly complicated!
max_torque:
er, just use a relay.
Cost buttons, nothing complex, provides isolation etc etc. There is no speed or high repetition rate required and it is replacing a mechanical switch (which uses human power to push two bits of metal together to make contact) with a relay (that uses a magnetic solenoid to push two bits of metal together to make contact)

Well, from the OP’s experiments and the solution he came up with, it looks like the PIR output is a bit wimpy. Not sure whether it could drive a relay directly?
hgg:
@SilverSolder Indeed. When I started this mod, I thought, that would be pretty easy.
@ebastler Its the HC-SR501.
