Re: Motion (or Infrared?) detectors for lights or electronics?

[AZ Woody <reply@here>]

Actually, the "off time" can be set between 1 and 256 minutes -
1,24,8,16,32,64,128,256 to be specific

Use one motion sensor per area, one x10 module per device you want
turned on, and one rf receiver per 8 motion sensors, if you stick with
std x10 stuff..

The reason you only get 8 with 16 devices on a single house code, is
that the motion sensor uses device+1 for dark/light indication.

So, if you set the motion sensor1 to device 1, device 2 is used for
light dark for sensor 1, and the next "usable" device is #3.
