Re: Visonic / VP1000 BT PIR Behaviour.

Thanks Martyn,

I wonder how people are using these for occupancy detection then.  I am
sure I have heard of people on the list doing this with these.

By the looks of things if you stay in the sensors view, it will not
transmit until a fairly long period of stillness, by which time the
lights could of timed out!

Cheers

Dan
