[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 345234, member: 1607"] I do hope it is not your 6 year old that you phoned while at his friends making him do a 20 minute walk back? This really does sound as though you have already decided what you want to do and have started doing it before asking advice. The best solution is to scrap the push switch idea, or scrap the cord pull switch. The two switches together just cancel out the very thing you are trying to prevent. PIR's can be set to daylight or nighttime, they will almost certainly switch the loads that you want as will a pneumatic push timer switch. An electronic timer switch may be different you would need to check the manufactures specification. Whatever you do be clear that your option of a push timer switch is a very poor design solution for the problem you have specified. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
