<DIV>Good stuff, however here’s my objectives:</DIV>
<DIV>1. The room fan is currently installed and controlled by a wall
switch</DIV>
<DIV>2. The pressure pad or motion sensor will be located 15’ away and 5’
</DIV>
<DIV>lower elevation (floor level) from the wall switch.</DIV>
<DIV>3. I do not want to tear into the walls, so there needs to be an RF
</DIV>
<DIV>link between the sensor and the wall switch. </DIV>
<DIV>4. The sensor (pressure pad or heat/? sensor) could be dc (battery)
</DIV>
<DIV>or could utilize the 110V outlet located 16” from the cat box entry
point.</DIV>
<DIV>5. It would be nice to keep the actual wall switch in operation, but
the </DIV>
<DIV>new RF switch (with timer) needs to be located at the wall switch
location.</DIV>

<DIV>Wouldn't even need the light part. The make a motion sensor that can
replace a wall switch. Like this one:</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If that doesn't work for you there are stand alone motion sensors that
could be placed near the cat pan to only detect cats. <BR></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are really set on a pressure pad sensor, I'd probably gin something
up with an Arduino and a Relay. More work in HW/SW development, but the
possibilities are endless. You could log all the cat box activity, send a
text after a set number of visits to remind you to scoop the litter.... This has
a high potential for feature creep... Gotta run now, off to the shop to
start coding....<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV>

<DIV>How about taking a motion sensitive light, and wiring an outlet/the fan
in place of the bulb?</DIV>
