Well erh sometimes, I have a button on my pronto to turn all uptairs lights
off for times like these!. After Midnight the lights on timer is only set
for 10mins with no movement (timer reset to 10 mins if movement). But all
in
all it works 96% of the time (with two people in the house).
I have a guest mode which reverts to timer only as things do tend to get
out of synch with a few people milling around!.
