This still won't work for me Phil.  Take the case of the study I was
describing - the room with the three hour timer.

Say I walk in for a brief stay, I walk out turning out the light.  I
walk back in half an hour later or whatever - the lights don't go on.

I see you are using a min-timer to turn yours off but for me that
just complicates stuff.  It's just easier to control the lights with
the wall switch in these type of rooms.
