Does an automatic shutoff energy saver light switch exist?My parents always yelled at us to shut off our lights constantly and now Ifind myself constantly yelling at the kids to shut the lights off. I knowit's a losing cause.Maybe there is a better way?Do they have automatic-shut-off light switches I can simply remove andreplace my existing standard light switches is? Are they inexpensive enoughto be practical?Better yet, do reasonably priced light switches exist that automaticallyturn the lights on and off as you walk by? Do they also fit in the existinglight switch boxes?Please advise.Thanks

I've seen motion detector light switches at Lowes. I don't remember the price, though. You set them for a certain delay, and after so much non-movement, they shut off. What I'm looking for now is a humidity activated switch that automatically turns on the bathroom fan when it gets too steamy in there. :)
