+#@ Demo control of lights using the occupied mode
+
+=begin comment 
+This code provides a demo for using the occupied mode variable to program
+lights on and off according to a schedule.  Written by [email protected]
+
+First, some basic setup information.  
+
+Light control - This code assumes that you have already setup light control using X-10 or some other kind of interface.  The lights or other devices you want to control are setup by clicking MrHouse Home->Setup MrHouse->Edit Items.  Once you've defined the light, gone to the lights menu to confirm you can control it, you can use it here.
+
+The code that follows are some of the pieces I used while I was figuring out how this stuff works.  Once I got the schedule working correctly, I actually moved it all to a comment section and then resurrected it to build this demo module.  Note also that much of this code could be optimized to improve efficiency.

+   $state_changed = 1;

+The following code toggles lights based on changes to occupied mode.  This is most likely not the way one would use the mode values, but it does allow you to see immediate results from changing the value.
