First question:
Thinking of a door activated sensor for the attic bathroom as it will have a
fire door and I won't be passing to notice the light left on. Is this
possible? Not motion sensor only because my girls won't go in if the light
isn't on already. But it would need a motion sensor too so it doesn't go
dark while they are parked reading the Beano. Can't put a motion senor
outside the door as it is at the very top of the stairs and would get
triggered too often.

Any example of a 'door' switch and motion sensor in operation together?

Thanks,
Suzanne.


I dont understand what youre trying to achieve, or to put it another
way, why you want a light rigged to the door.

His girls won't go into the bathroom unless the light is on first.

What he needs is something like a passive infared outdoor light with a
timer of say 4 or 5 minutes?

I suppose really he could take the innards out of the outdoor passive
light encase them into a metal box and mount the sensor also in the
box.
