Camilla Belle is HOT
If you have seen the remake of the movie, When A Stranger Calls, starring Camilla Belle as a babysitter stalked by a psychopath, you know how cool occupancy sensors can be. You walk into a room and the lights turn on. When you leave the room, they turn off. While this does not sound like an amazing breakthrough, the technology is nothing short of it.
PIR or Ultrasonic
The entire unit incorporates several features like a motion detector, a mini power supply, a neat little electronic control unit and a relay switch. While there is some controversy as to whether ultrasonic sensors or PIR sensors work best within the unit, most would agree that is another great step in home convenience.
A Dead Giveaway
The Steinel Occupancy Sensor device can be controlled by a timer that tells the unit how long to leave the lights on when it detects an absence of occupants in the room. You can set your occupancy sensor to turn off immediately, or it can remain on for several minutes depending upon your personal preferences. Many people prefer instantly because if you see a light turn on in the house when no one is supposed to be home, you know that someone is definitely moving inside the house and you will know exactly where they are.
