At least it sounds like they do work then :-)  I always wondered whether
the system was reliable or a bit prone to interference or erratic
operation.

I've snaffled all the files too, and it doesn't look that complex to put
together.  Once I finish some of the urgent jobs round the house I'll
maybe try building one and have a play with it.  If I can find the box I
packed the soldering iron in that is :-)

Maybe there wasn't a demand, although given the interest people usually
show in reliable occupancy detection I'd be very surprised if that was
the case.
