Speaking of family leaving lights on and such, it's worth noting that with younger children, the strict off/sense/on type of motion sensors simply do not work, as inevitably they decide it is better to slide the little switch over to the always on position and leave it there instead of relying on their body heat to trigger the light! Might as well save the $20 and not have the damned things at all!!!
The SOLUTION to this problem is the slightly more expensive version of motion sensing switch, where one must push a momentary button upon entering the room regardless - with no option to just leave it on, the timer starts and continues to reset until no more motion is sensed. They simply will not turn on without the button press however. Most of these types of switches are also compatible with CFLs as well, whereas the other version is not and will burn out both the switch and the CFL in short order.
