A note here, this event fires every time the sensor "sees" motion. So if you are unloading groceries, every time you walk past the door/sensor, the event resets, and therefore so does the 5 minute clock.

	This is a scenario for Night mode. As the garage has windows, and the door opener light, there is no need for it to fire during the day. That is why we put the "NIGHT" entry in. However for the basement that is attached to the garage, I have left that area blank, as I always want the lights to come on, and then turn off after 5 minutes.		This is a scenario for Night mode.
