Which PIR
did
you use? I was just about to order a couple MS13E but
noticed
this:
"For use in-doors, or in sheltered outdoor positions where it
will
not come into contact with rainfull/moisture "
Does this
mean
the MS13E is unsuitable for a bathroom which is
obviously going to
generate a degree of moisture?
Also, what door contacts did you use?
It
would be nice if there was
some form of X10 RF door contact but I have
come across any so far.
I really would like to get the bathroom
light
motion automated
especially for the night time dim since that has long
been my
intention. I hadn't considered the door contact system before
but
as
you said it does have it's problems. The second sensor is to light
the path along the landing in a similar fashion in conjunction with
door contacts to cover "blind" areas without having lots of motion
sensors.
