SensorPlugMotion-Sensitive Light Switch
The SensorPlug works just like an AC adapter which you plug into an outlet, and to which you connect a lamp. It has an infrared motion sensor that is triggered by motion, which turns your light on. You can also connect another appliance instead of a lamp. There is a switch at the top of the SensorPlug for selecting the "L" position (for a light), and the "O" position, for other appliances. At the L position, the light will turn on only when the ambient light is low. The light or appliance will stay on if motion is continuously detected. Otherwise, it will turn off after 2 to 6 minutes (depending on your setting).
A Clapper at TWiT Cottage
Colleen installed a clapper at the TWiT Cottage, to make Leo feel wanted perhaps. It didn't quite work as planned.
