re: [misterhouse-users] Timers with Lights & Motion Sensors

I cannot test this but you should use state instead of state_now as state_now =
is only true when the garage light is told to come on.  e.g. only one pass =
through the loop.  Since your garage light is ON and you set the timer active =
this will never execute with state_now.

Also there is $timer_garage->inactive()  which is a function to return true =
when the timer is not active so you don't have to negate.

 >>  set $Garage_Lights 'OFF';
 >>  print "\nGarage lights are off\n";
