The cast member they sent proceeded to press a series of buttons in a certain order that disabled the motion detector for 48 hours.

I am an IDIOT for not writing that sequence down because that same thermostat has popped up at a Four Points and Holiday Inn I have stayed at in the past couple of months.

Does anyone know the sequence to do this? Forget green I wannabe cool!

I realize there may be different manufactures, but I think we need to compile a list. I, for one, will download it into my PDA.
Have this run around your room to set off the motion detector.
