I've found that it works well in rooms where I move around while I'm in
there (my dressing room, for example), but poorly in rooms where I might
be still for a while (living room, bedroom, etc.)
The dressing room uses an ecolume PIR and Homevision to implement the
"turn off after N" logic. The X10 PIRs had too much latency to be
useful
- I was half way across the room before the light came on _or_ I had the
PIR covering enough of the landing that the light would come on just
because someone had walked past.
