Claim 9:
10. A person detection device (PDD) for detecting motion and occupancy of a person in an area, comprising:
a memory for storing processor-executable instructions;
a transceiver for sending and receiving wireless signals;
a processer coupled to the detector, the memory and the transceiver, for executing the processor-executable instructions that causes the apparatus to:
operate, by the processor, during a first time period, the PDD in a motion sensor mode of operation wherein the PDD uses the transceiver to transmit, at an expiration of a first dwell time, a motion present signal in response to any motion being detected by the PDD; and
operate, by the processor, during a second time period, the PDD in an occupancy mode of operation wherein the PDD uses the transceiver to transmit, at an expiration of a second dwell time, a person-present signal in response to any occupancy being detected by the PDD;
wherein, in the occupancy mode of operation, the PDD does not monitor for movement of a person.
