Choosing sensor for turning the light

[sarge]

Hi to all,

What type of sensor on your opinion is optimal for auto switching light in bath?

Thanks for responses

if I understand you want light automatic on and off. is it right? you can use photo resistor.

Yes, it is right. But I don't understand how I can use photot resistor for it. I thought use PIR sensor, but for that need regular movement...

Google "occupancy sensor"

Micro switch on the door. Door open, light off, door closed light on. PIRs sense a change in temperature, so if you don't move thing forgets you are there. Pressure pad under floor? Infra red beam shooting right across the room?

When in room is no one, light also will turned on? And if I want to with this sensor turns on ventilation in the washroom, some time after the appearance of man, and on condition that he spent some time there.
You can of course turn the light on even button operation, but what if the door is accidentally opened and closed twice? Or the door has been left open...

It is too difficult for me...
