The switch is set
so off time midnight until 5 am, don't really want it turning back on at 5 am, but if I set it later then the dawn off is before the switch on time, at the moment not a problem as PIR still active, but whole idea is to remove the PIR as it tends to switch off at most inappropriate moment.
The lights also switch on when door bell pressed, this does three things, it lets me see who is calling, it lets me find key hole after midnight, and it tells me when some one has called when we were out. But I may change that.
Seems odd, but also using dusk option with living room lights, I am well known for falling asleep in the chair watching TV which times out, meaning I wake up to a pitch black room, rare we don't turn on living room lights, and they also have an off at midnight as normally in bed well before then, just in case I forget, but the whole idea of automated lights is new to me, wife seems to have worked it out, hey google do this or that, but I still use the switches manually.
