Errm... I'm not too sure off the top of my head, probably about 6 months or
so.  I've done a "week-days vs. weekends" version, but haven't
put that on
the site yet! :-)

I'll tell you a funny story while I'm here... Once the house notices that
no
one is up, it goes into "night mode" (the reasoning behind this
is that if
someone opens the garden gate in the middle of the night, then rather than
the PC just saying "The garden gate has been opened", it kicks
off one of
those X10 chimes).

Anyway, if it detects movement downstairs in the house when it's in
"night
mode", the PC whispers (via ceiling speakers) "what are you doing
up at this
time of night".

Not so long ago, my other half was woken up by the sound of breaking
glass... She got up, and went downstairs to take a look, assuming that the
cats had knocked something off a shelf in the kitchen.  She got into the
kitchen, but couldn't see anything... Just then, she heard something in the
downstairs bathroom, and, coincidentally, a voice whispered "What are
you
doing up at this time of night?"... She apparently jumped a mile until
realising that the voice was the PC, and the sound in the bathroom was a
cat
knocking a second glass candlestick onto the floor! :-)  I of course slept
though it all! :-)

Adam.
