White, Decora Style, Single Pole, Wall Switch, PIR Occupancy Sensor With Wallplate, 180 Degree Field Of View, Incandescent 500W, Fluoresecent 400VA Rapid Start Magnetic Only, Clamshell Pack.

Works as advertised

I was suspicious of this item, at the price, but I bought two of them and they are both working well.

The handyman did not get the three-way wired right, so it is necessary to leave the toggle switch in the on position at the bottom of the stairs, but that's no problem. Sometimes the sensor even picks up the person at the bottom of the stairs. If not, just flip it off and back on once or twice and that triggers the light. Then leave it in the on position. The sensor will turn it off automatically.

If it lasts, it will have been a very good deal.

product review

I got a Decora wall switch with pir occupancy sensor from Amazon.com and I am very happy with it, its great for the room. have no problems with it.

It was quick to get to my home and had no problems with installing it.

Works great as one-way switch

Works phantastic as a 1-way switch. But there are some minor issues when replacing a 3-way switch: There is an older and a newer version of the switch, but unfortunately the installation instructions were not updated and are not complete (when it comes to replacing a 3-way switch). Luckily the manufacturer's customer service quickly provided me with the instructions. However, I still couldn't get it to work the way it is supposed to (as many others according to some other internet forum). In my case the remaining conventional 3-way switch cannot trigger the light to come on which is fine as the sensor field is so big that it is no longer needed. If your 2 conventional 3-way switches are far apart from each other you can replace both by a Pir sensor switch.

Works But Does Have Flaws !!!!!

This produce is great under normal circumstances. I have this installed in a pantry closet, the master closet, and in the laundry room. I would not recommend this for the garage unless you dont mind the lights turning on during the day when the garage is opened. Also, there is a setting for how long it stays on. If you put in a room you stay in for more than a few minutes, it will turn off after the set number of minutes. Mine are all set to 1 minute. However, I am in my closet sometimes for more than a minute and I have to walk back in front of the sensor for it to turn back on. That only happens about 1% of the time. The other 99% of the time it's great not having to worry about turning it on and off.

Here's the big flaw..... If your power goes out and comes back on, you will find that all of the lights connected to motion sensors in your house will be on. They will not turn off until you switch to off, then back to auto. If you go out of town for more than a couple days, it's probably wise to turn it from auto to off just in case your power cycles. (Unless you don't mind having your lights left on until you return).

Works OK but installation instructions a little weak.

First, not as clear as it could be about what fluorescent fixtures this would control. It also does not say whether this can be used in a 20A circuit or not. Finally, does not say whether ground is required or not. good news is it works fine once installed correctly.
