When Keith was over we took our girls (5 and
4.5
year olds) to "Who, When, Where, What, Why" (W5) science exhibition
in
Belfast. Apart from the Dads loving it more than the girls (who did
love
it too BTW) Keith got to explain some electrical basics to me on one of the
kids
things. :-)
Anyway - while we were there,
there was
a great system of "eyes" built into the stairs. Very neat and a good
idea
for what Mike is doing (knew I should have run CAT5s to the stairs -
DOH).
In the exhibition they created a different piano note every step you went
up. Keith and I both though of that scene in "Big" with the piano on
the
floor when we heard it.

I've got that working on the stairs
Two mats and some
Homevision logic
Basically if it fires 1 then 2 I'm going up
2 then 1
I'm going down
I add or subtract from a vartiable so I always have a
count
of people
upstairs
I'm thinking of doing the same now with the PIR's
now
I can get to them with
Comfort
The added nonsense turns the
lights
off instantly if you comedownstairs with
someone in bed
INPUT
PORT 'HIGH' EVENT # 26 'Stairs 1'
If
Flag #34 (Stairs 2) is
set
And Flag #15 (reset) is cleared
Then
Var #15 (Upstairs)
=
var #15 (Upstairs) - 1
Serial port 1 transmit: "Display
message
"upstairs less 1""
End If
Set flag #33 (Stairs 1)
Load timer #13
(Stairs 1) with 0:00:02.00 and start
If
Var #15 (Upstairs) =
0
Then
Serial port 1 transmit: "Display message "timer running to
switch
off""
Wait 0:10:00.00 with timer #18 (upstairs delay),
Then:
If
Var
#15 (Upstairs) = 0
Then
Do macro #4 (Upstairs off) once
End
If
End
Wait
End If
If
Flag #5 (Gone to bed Nest) is set
Or Flag
#6
(Gone to bed Mike) is set
Then
Do macro #4 (Upstairs off) once
End
If
Clear flag #15 (reset)
INPUT PORT 'HIGH' EVENT # 27
'Stairs
2'
If
Flag #33 (Stairs 1) is set
Then
If
Var #15
(Upstairs)
= 0
Then
Do macro #3 (Upstairs on) once
End If
If
Var #15
(Upstairs) = 1
And Flag #5 (Gone to bed Nest) is set
Then
Do macro
#3
(Upstairs on) once
End If
If
Var #15 (Upstairs) = 1
And Flag #6
(Gone to bed Mike) is set
Then
Do macro #3 (Upstairs on) once
End
If
Var #15 (Upstairs) = var #15 (Upstairs) +
1
Serial
port 1 transmit: "Display message "Upstairs plus 1""
End If
Set flag
#34
(Stairs 2)
Load timer #14 (Stairs 2) with 0:00:02.00 and
start

Kieran,
Thanks.
Is there some
way
of sensing not just that I've been through a doorway
(broken a beam),
but
to tell which DIRECTION I was going in.
Given that there are only 2
of
us in the house, it wouldn't be beyond
the wit of man to be able to say
that "person enters room", ROOM IS NOW
OCCUPIED, "person enters room",
"person leaves", "person leaves", ROOM
IS NOW EMPTY ... type of thing,
but
this is contingent on being able to
detect the diffence between "enters"
and "leaves".
Regards,
Mark Harrison
Head of Systems,
