> Has anyone done this? What's your setup
and
how have you done it?
PIRs wired back to
Comfort. Comfort talks to HV via ACE telling it when a certain PIR
fires.
HV runs a macro tied to that PIR which does the logic.
>As to the light sensor part:
> 1) would I need
just one
mounted outside
> 2)
or
one in each room (allowing more local sensing)
My PIRs are INside the rooms (there are ones
outside but these are used for hall movement).
> 3) is a simple switching type set at a predefined level
OK
or can you get a
> variable (analogue or digital) sensor that may be
a
bit more flexible
I use the Comfort light sensor.
It's
either Dark or Not Dark.
I'd add that I only do automatic lighting in
the
following rooms...
Kitchen
Utility
Downstairs Hall
Upstairs Hall
En-Suite (only in Night Mode)
Exterior Lighting
Because a PIR only detects movement and not
occupance it's best suited to these areas where there is constant
movement.
