Timeline of what happens.
 You walk into the room and the motion sensor sees you. Since the motion sensor
participates in the room state, the room is now on. When the room goes on, the switch is
sent a command to go on.
 As long as the motion sensor sees you the timer keeps getting reset.
 You change the light level of the switch. The timer is restarted. When the motion sensor
next sees you, the switch is not sent a command. Why? Because the switch is only sent a
command when the room goes from off to on.
 You turn off the switch at the paddle. While the room may still be on – the motion sensor
is the only determinate of that – the timer is cancelled.
The interaction of devices, rooms, and auto-off can be complex but there is a lot of power in
the concept. Hopefully the above examples will get you started.
