RE: Sat on a Toilet Sensor ?

[ian.bird@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The PIR detection distance on those mentioned sensors is quite short.
For
some it may even be a problem where the person leans forward reading or
dozing - or maybe passed out ;-)

I would strongly advocate against putting anything in the pan or if you
can avoid it even under the seat rests. Think of cleaning and possible
water ingress. I have a level sensor in the outside sewage drain in case
of blockage and sorting that out when it fails is a pretty miserable task
:-(

Thanks

Ian

.. what happens with the loo seat is closed and the PIR detects someone
in the room.



Also the idea of mounting electronics in the bowl itself just seems
wrong to me.. especially in a country where I can't even have a light
switch in the bathroom itself.
