Re: Intelligent Light Switching - Thoughts?



> Agreed, but you can “fudge” it by using timers within HV, even in rooms where little or no movement can or is detected,
 
I have tried this.  Good example is my Study.  In the end I had to set the timer for over 3 hours to make sure it didn't switch off when I'm at my keyboard.  But then everytime I went into the study to get a pen or whatever I would have the lights on for the next three hours.  Even turning it off on the way out is impossible cause the PIR gets you as you exit and turns them back on.  Then I get to the crazy situation of having to close the door and slide my hand thru a crack from the outside to reach in and switch them off - lol.
 
Hence my list of rooms in the last post.  In these room automatic lighting is a god-send (very high WAF too).  In the others it's just a pain.
 
Thanks
