I've got the knockout too, and a sensor next to the knockout. I wonder what
the sensor is for.

You apparently missed my post earlier in this thread. That is the
light sensor for the climate control system. It uses some fuzzy logic
to decide how much heating/cooling you need, based on how strongly the
sun is beating down on you. (For example, the noonday sun will make
you feel warmer than it really is, so the AC will have to cool more to
make you feel like it's the temp you selected.)

The ceramic effect. That 70 degree ceramic tile abutting to my 70 degree
hardwood is a LOT colder. :-)
