PIR / Photocell / Time switch: does such a thing exist?
Discussion
I'm currently trying to make my garage both more welcoming and secure.
What I'm currently thinking of is a couple of lights on the front that illuminate at dusk (triggered by photocell), turn off at a certain time, but are PIR triggered for the rest of the time.
Is there a single controller that will do all of this for me (even if it needs multiple sensors wiring up)? Looking at separate PIRs and photocells and I can't find one, but can't believe I'm the only person who might want such a thing.
Ideally want all lights triggered by the same device as it would annoy me if the photocell/PIR on each lamp were set slightly differently.
Thanks in advance chaps!

Thanks guys.
Seems fairly straightforward then (doubt I'll be switching anything other than relatively low wattage bulbs).
Not been able to find any of the dual switching units online (I need one for external use, so not sure a washroom sensor will work?) but I've got a few places I can put separate components so it won't look like a random mishmash of parts.
Found this little unit that should sort the timing element quite neatly http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/SMFST11.html
Any alternative suggestions (or indeed for other parts of the system) most welcome.
