I use motion sensors in our bedroom, and bedside Minimotes. The motion-lighting app that I use (my own, see here: Motion Lighting) has a disable-motion function (using a virtual switch). When one of us goes in to read, we use the Minimote to set the lights to an appropriate setting, and disable motion on/off. Later, when it’s time to turn out the lights, the Minimote is the tool for that. I use a scheduled on to turn the disable switch off in the morning. This works well for us. The Minimote also has a “nap” button, that disables motion, and turns off the lights.
I’m finding that motion-disable is a very useful feature. I used to use a special mode to do this, but found that gets too complicated, and doesn’t generalize at all. Hence, added the motion-disable function to my basic lighting apps.
