Just put up a standard 240v PIR run back to the loxone panel, need to convert 240v trigger to 24v loxone. 

Looking for a solid state relay din mounted or can I use an opto-coupler?

Ideally looking for a 6 / 11 mm wide module that will site behind the future automation panel front or same profile as an mcb.

i think a single din size is 17.5mm wide for a din relay, but there are some slimmer ones around:

6.2mm wide din rail, available with a 240v input coil

Had a look at the 6mm ones but they are all quite tall compares to mcb and the loxone modules, order a wider one with is not a tall will see if it fits

the top of the narrow relay is designed to fit through the apperture of the din cabinet like a circuit breaker would so you can see the status led and change the relay without opening the cabinet

Sorry a little late in replying to this as I've been on hols and unable to sign in to post.. 

What I did was had a look at the PIR and altered it so I got dry contacts - If you post a photo of the PIR PCB each side it may be possible that you can remove links to make it work.

Also its worth pointing out that a lot of 240v PIR's are actually 24v so can be converted back to 24v - You can also buy them from ebay that are exactly that if you search for 12v external PIR (obv they are 12v - think 24v is less common to buy but some i've had are certainly 24v - have a look at the relay coil voltage to confirm.

Also GJD do a nice range of external PIR's but they aren't cheap but can be dual tech.

search for "220v optocoupler" etc.. on aliexpress..  they sell 1, 3 and 8 channel versions of a optocoupler based solution for going from 220-240v to a simple opto coupler "transistor"type output that can "pull down" a DI input on a loxone extension..

Spotted some weidmuller module style opto's there to using the same search .. about 10 euro's a piece..
