Subject: [ukha_d] HA Holy Grail #1: Occupancy Detection
I've finally puched down all the CAT5 in Node0, so it's time to think about
lighting. I've got the switches and lighting controllers sorted, but what
I'd really like is automgic lights. This leads me in pursuit of the holy
grail. Occupancy detection. Has anyone got a reasonably reliable method of
occupancy detection? I'm thinking a sensitive PIR, which triggers a timer
and turns the light on. When the timer reaches zero the light goes off.
Whenever the PIR is triggered, it resets the timer. I suspect I can do this
with xAP Floorplan, although I've not checked yet. Has anyone implemented
this? If so, any recommendations for PIRs?
Cheers,
Andy
