In my case even this doesn't work, because a particular room may be fed
by several different power circuits. I thought this was rather common.
I typically see outlets and lights on different circuits, and circuits
tend to follow walls rather than rooms. A controller wired at an entry
way (as a light switch) is not on the same circuit as any of the
outlets it might need to control.
