@noxx
my first thought - maybe you can use this one here
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Infrarotlichtschranke-Hindernisvermeidung-Sensor-Module-Photoelectric-Sensor-/141830550370it has a only a range of 30cm. if using the digital out you might be able to use it as a gpio presence sensor.

https://github.com/pimatic/pimatic-homeduinoif you want to do it wireless, maybe mysensor can help. the motion sketch seems pretty good for this one i guess.

Does it need to be a photocell? Otherwise you can also use an ultrasonic sensor which can detect up to 5m.
And mysensors has a sketch available for it too. -
THX, the distance i need is 2,5m
