PIR in shower room - any experience?

[twodoctors]

Hi all,

My wife wanted an "automatic" light switch for our (to be installed) shower room after seeing one in the toilet of one of the bathroom shop we visited. Now I don't see a problem in a toilet only setup but would it work in a shower room? I know there are IP rated PIR so that's not an issue. Any experience with this? Thanks.

Yes, not good.
Walk in room, light goes on, sit on pot, read paper, plunged into darkness.

I have them in my hallways.
Work fine, a shower room would have activity. More so than a "bog".
Just set the timer to about 5 mins. More than enough for a shower.

I guess that's my questions really. How would the steam from the shower affect the performance of the PIR? It's a pretty small room (1.7m x 2.3m) anyway so in theory it will detect small movement.
