I recently moved into a new apartment, where I replaced the manual light switches with the motion sensing type that I bought at Home Depot. They also have a variable adjustment to keep lights off when there is enough ambient light in the room (window light). Unfortunately I cant control their sensitivity. In my bathroom and kitchen they work fine, but in a spare bedroom that I use for storage I have problems. The lights will often come on when no one is in the room, even when the door is closed. I tried replacing the unit with another, still the same problem. Can air currents from heating vents or cold drafts from windows that rattle window blinds cause these type of sensors to falsely sense "motion"? Any solutions? Thanks
