Planning for my new kitchen has got me wondering this question ... (plus it enables me to start the first thread on the shiny new Idratek forum )
Conventional wisdom suggests
- thermostats etc work well when postioned arouns shoulder height
- PIRs tend to do best when in/on the ceiling
But if I want to use a combined PIR/DTS in my kitchen, where's the best place to mount it ... I mean, on the ceiling wont it always read too high, whilst on the wall will it "miss" spotting presence (and therefore switching the lights out) ?
What works best in practice?
