RE: Intelligent Light Switching - Thoughts?

I have the PIR triggering a section of HV code that only issues the "Force On" the first time the PIR trips.

 

eg:

 

If Timer#1 is not running then

    Force On

Endif

 

Set Timer #1 to 10 minutes

 

Then when the timer expires it simply forces an Off.

 

That way if I want the lights off I simply turn them off locally by an X10 mini timer and they stay off but automatically "reset" once the 10 minute timer finally expires.

Yep, that’s the pain in the ass I have as well! Only I set the lights for a five or ten minute timer and it works better than I had before as the chances are that if no movement is detected inside ten minutes then no-one is in the room, but then I can set a flag in HV and the lights stay on in the PC room, I just clear it when I leave or set it when playing games with the light off and it’s effectively disabled.
