Or, occupyncy (Can't spell it!) sensor in the en-suite. Or, double pole switch on bedroon light, one pole killing feed to en-suite. Remember fan overun may be required as well.... Couple of ideas for you dear boy! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Life is like a box of chocolates, some bugger always gets the nice ones!

Wooly-bobs Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 How long do you spend in the en-suite? Get a pneumatic switch that landlords put in common areas of flats, push and it stays on for pre set lemgth of time. Bonus feature, stops you spending too long in there.

Cubit Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 How is that going to remind him he left it on? I say fit a master blaster on a 3 minute timer. That'll remind him...and if he ain't finished in 3 minutes, he soon will be when that goes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kka Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 make the wife aware of the problem, she will make sure you do not leave it on too many time, either that or fit a pull switch, string to the floor, then train the dog or cat to go and check and switch it off. if that does not work kill the master switch as you leave the premises.. fun over at work our lights are on a sensor that senses movement, no movement after a certain period of time lights off, do not know how you will be on with part p though, may need to hire a spark to fit it Kevin Scott.

What sort of switch does the en-suite have now? If you add another switch to a two way you use an intermediate, no good to you. What sort of switch does the en-suite have now?
