[QUOTE="Andeh1, post: 549411, member: 37423"] We have a light switch for our garage in our corridor (before you open the door & enter garage), as well as a PIR. Idea being as you drive in/walk in the PIR turns the lights on. We also had a second light switch (intermediate) inside the garage. Problem we have is PIR has a few second delay which is fine when you are driving in, but when you are stepping into garage ( 2 steps down into it) the light only comes on when you're at the bottom of the steps/about to get to the car. An ideal solution would be a timer light switch, where you press it 'on' and it turns itself of after 5-10mins for the corridor before you open the garage door, then the 2nd garage light switch is an override for 'on' - when i'm working on the car etc, then PIR would then work for when you drive in. Plenty exist for 2 wire light switches, but because of the PIR we have a COM - which is preventing me from finding one that is compatible. (ie; [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01M25SSAI?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details[/URL]) Has anyone ever come across a switch like the above, but which includes a 'COM'? Many thanks, [/QUOTE]
