I’m not sure that a hoist swinging
in the breeze would trigger a PIR because its not hot. However I’m sure
that sitting on the loo means you’re still enough for a PIR to not see
you.
Having said that the loos at our new
cancer centre have lights which switch on automatically when you enter. I
assume its PIR. I haven’t found that they switch off when you’re
still in there so maybe they’re toggling as Zoe suggested.

Subject: Re: Shared Bathroom Issue
This may be a very simplistic
solution and also may not work but would a PIR/pressure mat triggered prompt do
the job. I was thinking that if, when you enter the bathroom a prompt is
triggered which reminds you to shut the door, this could be a reasonably simple
solution. Then once the door is shut either an automatic locking mechanism or
some kind of external indication that the bathroom is in use could be
triggered. It would mainly depend on whether a prompt would be sufficient to trigger
the independent users to shut the door.
I am working on the renovation of a
respite service for people with learning disabilities in North Somerset.
Two of the bedrooms share a bathroom
so we need to find a solution which will mean that if one person is accessing
the bathroom it will prevent the person in the other room from entering.
The scheme will accommodate a number
of people who will access the bathroom independently and others who will always
have support to do this.
Where people can access the bathroom
independently we can not guarantee that they will understand
that they need to shut the door in order to activate or release a locking
mechanism.
The doors can not be automated as
there will be a ceiling hoist put in place.
PIR use might not be possible as the
hoist may be picked up as movement in the bathroom.
I would really appreciate any help
with this and am more than happy to provide any additional information
that you might need.
