Apologies in advance, as I start to think more seriously about an install I'm no doubt going to have some daft questions... Rather than bothering Karam the whole time hopefully you good peole can help.
How do people handle peresence and stairs? I'm thinking of putting a sensor or two on a couple of staircases to help with presence detection (particularly as we have tread lights I'm guessing that I may want to treat them as a room on their own). It's going to be difficult to use PIRs because of the layout, so I was thinking of either a pressure mat or some sort of beam break sensor embedded in the wall. Any views on either of these, do pressure mats have longevity issues?
If I go for either pressure or beam break do I place a sensor at the top and bottom of the stairs to give cortex a clue (to cover both directions of travel)?
