interesting idea. Like most, the sensor range will be an issue. Usually they are set so they turn 'on' a light when you enter a dark space. The person then has 'x' minutes to turn on another light, or exit the space. Complaints about 'short range' make no sense.. these ARE short range devices.
We have industrial occupancy sensors at work on the overhead lights in zones. They're 'smart', but at lunch or after about 5 I tend to have to stand up and wave my hands periodically. Sensor range on those is perhaps 30 feet.
I'd be fine getting two - one by each pedestrian door to the garage.
Maybe the ones I tagged from Amazon will be fine, given your thoughts.
