Occupancy sensors programmed to determine loss of lamp life as lamp is used

A system comprising:

• an occupancy sensor operative to sense occupancy in an area, the occupancy sensor having a selectable time delay;
• and
• a hardware processor coupled to the occupancy sensor, the hardware processor programmed to simulate on/off operation of a lamp as if the lamp were controlled by the occupancy sensor for each of a plurality of selectable time delays based on occupancy sensed by the occupancy sensor.

A system comprising:

• an occupancy sensor operative to sense occupancy in an area, the occupancy sensor having a plurality of time delays, wherein at least one of the plurality of time delays is operative to run alone and at least one of the plurality of time delays is operative to run concurrently with at least one other of the plurality of time delays, and each of the plurality of time delays is operative to affect when the occupancy sensor is operative to cause a lamp to turn off in response to the occupancy sensor sensing no occupancy in the area;
• a hardware processor coupled to the occupancy sensor, the hardware processor operative to cause the occupancy sensor to be programmed with a value for at least one of the plurality of time delays, wherein the hardware processor is an integral part of a local computer, gateway, host computer, or handheld device coupled directly or via a network to the occupancy sensor.
