    Have it set to a sensor, same as the lights

    Given how often the lights go out at work while I’m taking a dump, this isn’t the best idea.

      It’s definitely easier to tell if something is in a room than it is to tell if nothing is in a room. And sensors still fail at that. Timers would probably be better, since you don’t need disinfection every time a room is used.

      If you know the office building will be empty every day at 2AM have the lights do their work between 2-3 every morning.
