You don't even have to do that. I just pulled the plastic draw string off the laundry bag and hung it from the vent. Of course the vent does have to be above the sensor..... then the plastic draw sting just wafts over the sensor and the A/C stays on.

NOW, if you are staying at the Doubletree in Mission Valley in San Diego, the sensor that is above the door.....just take out the batteries and then put them back when you leave.....
