RE: PIR sensors and x10

It only makes contact whilst pressed.....hence momentary.

 

The moment you take your finger off it no longer makes contact.

 

Think of it as a bell push (not the ones in TV comedy programs! )

Okay, at the risk of showing up my total & utter ignorance, since
this term comes up so frequently it's about time I got a definition.

What exactly do you guys mean by 'momentary switch' ?

I'm guessing it's a kind of toggle. Rather than being like a common
light/power switch that is in one of two positions, this toggles the
setting on contact? Like I said, I'm guessing.
