Re: [misterhouse-users] auto dim/bright depending on motion

[Daniel D. <dan...@gm...>]

I'm new to this and I'm trying to figure out which x10 motion sensors
would work with this sort of a command.  I'm actually looking to
trigger a voice command via "speak" but the most important thing is I
don't know which sensor to buy.  It's for interior use.

I hope this isn't too basic of a question.

Thanks,
Dan
