Aha!  Knew it :-)

No good for me - SWMBO would not want to fiddle with the pronto just to go
to bed - she gets up and goes, that's it.....
I like your lateral thinking though regarding this kinda stuff and your use
of indirectly detecting something because of the state of X or Y around it
rather than trying to detect something per se (eg IIRC, you use a PIR to
detect someone in the lounge, but if lounge 'empty' and TV still on then
chances are someone still watching it so DON'T turn off lights etc)

I was thinking something along the lines of detecting that SWMO had turned
off her light from a minitimer (AKA 'A new alarm clock dear'') and using
that to say 'don't turn on the lights when movement detected' (ie me coming
in to the room) but I hadn't worked out all the specifics.....

I've no problem with _me_ having a bedtime routine I kick off with
pronto/keyfob/whatever, but I want the house to be 'usable' also without
that bedtime flag being set.....
