This is undoubtedly a stupid question that will demonstrate nothing
but my ignorance, but here goes...

Your beam breakers work with HomeVision, which I can't afford
(yet...).  I'm still using the CM12U.  Is there any way, do you think,
of adapting the beam breakers to work with a CM12U - via RF say.  Or
would I simply be reintroducing the time delay that's there with the
PIR sensors (I'm not sure at which point the delay occurs, or whether
it's just accumulative).

I currently use two PIRs to detect activity and switch on the lights -
one to cover the bedrooms for the midnight toilet run that becomes
more frequent as one gets older, and one to cover the front door
should I suddenly discover a social life and come home after lights
out!  However the delay has caused more than one anxious pause at the
top of the stairs to the bathroom (multi-levelled house) whilst I wait
for the lights...
