Decora Wall Switch with Pir Occupancy Sensor Review

(More customer reviews)If you are using compact fluorescent bulbs, this is not the switch you want. The lights flicker and it burns out the bulbs prematurely. If you are (and always will be) using incandescent it may suit your needs.

GE® Motion Sensing Switch - 2 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you use Compact Flourescent Lights this type of motion sensor does not work- the CFLs will flicker instead of turning off. CFLs are not compatible with most automatic-on motion sensors as they still require a bit of current flow. You need a motion sensor that includes a neutral wire, which is unfortunate for me as the wiring in my house is old and doesn't have neutral wires.

Heath Zenith SL-6106-WH Vacancy Motion Sensor Wall Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This works exactly as written which is to say not as I expected (my fault for preconceived notions). This switch will not sense when somebody comes in to the room and turn the lights on. Instead, you have to press the button to turn the lights on and as long as it detects motion the lights stay on. If no motion for programmed period of time, then they turn off. Very easy to install, works as advertised. I would recommend it if you don't need the lights to turn on automatically.

Heath Zenith SL-6053-WH Wireless Command, Motion Light Set with Dual-Brite Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wanted to control my outside house lights with a motion detector with the minimum of rewiring and fuss; the SL-6053 does accomplish this goal. You simply replace your existing wall switch with the controller, just like installing a dimmer switch. You then mount the battery-operated wireless motion/daylight sensor to cover the desired area and that's it. You can choose to configure the light to be either off or dim when untriggered and to turn on to full brightness when motion is triggered. You can select the duration the lights stay on at full brightness until returning to the untriggered state. A light sensor ensures the unit stays off during the daytime. You can also use the larger of the two switches to manually turn on or off the lights; when turned on, it stays on; when turned off, the system again responds to motion detection. I had difficulties using the mode when the lights are just dimmed in untriggered mode. They did not seem to trigger properly and did not turn off during the day. I now use the mode where the lights are turned off in the untriggered mode and everything works fine. I have noticed that the motion detector is very sensitive and I had to set it to its lowest sensitivity setting to avoid continuously tripping on. After several months the unit still works well and I still don't know how often I will need to replace the batteries in the motion sensor (not hard to do). Although a little quirky, this device really is a simple and workable drop-in solution to achieve motion/light sensor control for existing home wiring. Also, since the unit includes dimmer settings, you should use incandescent or halogen bulbs, not CFLs. I would welcome a simple on/off version of this unit without dimmer to use with CFLs.

Leviton OSSNL-IDW Decora Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, LED Adjustable Night Light, 180 Degree, 1200 sq. ft. Coverage, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace a Leviton PR180. The PR180 seemed to work on my 3 fluorescent lights (2 electronic ballasts, 1 magnetic), but then the bulbs started flickering and eventually went out.
The OSSNL went in with new bulbs and the difference was immediately noticeable. It was as if the lights were connected to a standard switch! Not a hint of buzzing. Definitely worth the extra money for this switch.
I was very impressed by the configuration options in this switch, and spent about an hour testing everything and getting it right. It's great!
02/17/2010 Followup review:
Lowering my rating on this switch because now it is behaving strangely. The switch is installed in my garage and typically the lights are off when I open the garage door, then they turn on as soon as I step on the garage stairs. Recently I had noticed that the lights were on when I arrived home from work, and were on when I would first open the garage door. The switch was not turning off the lights after the 30 second timeout! I tried the manual on/off, and that would shut the lights off but they would not turn back on when I moved in front of the sensor. Even though nothing had changed with the switch configuration, it began functioning strictly as a manual on/manual off switch. As a final fix attempt I ended up flipping the circuit breaker that the switch was attached to, and now it appears to be working again. We'll see how long that lasts. Very strange and frustrating.
03/10/2010 Followup review:
It seems this switch has now completely stopped functioning as a motion-sensing switch. Despite repeating my previous efforts, I was unable to get the lights to turn off in either auto or manual mode. Perhaps I got a lemon. I've uninstalled the switch and will be sending it to Leviton for a replacement under warranty. Hopefully the next switch does not have these problems.
04/25/2010 Followup review:
Leviton sent me a new swtich approximately 2 weeks ago (so expect a 1-month turnaround if you send in a defective switch). So far it is working properly. I will update this review again later after the new switch has been installed for a longer period of time.

The Leviton OSSNL-IDW Designer Occupancy Sensor Wall Switch with LED NightLight provides occupancy detection and a night light in one attractive wall switch. With the occupancy sensor, you'll get energy savings and increased safety, and with the night light, you'll get a comfortable, low level of light that helps guide you without activating general lighting.
Passive Infrared Technology Detects MotionThe OSSNL-IDW works via a passive infrared sensor to automatically switch lights on. The lights will remain on until no motion is detected and the preset wait time has expired--you can choose from among four time delay settings--30 seconds, 30 minutes, one hour, or two hours.
The occupancy sensor features a proprietary segmented Fresnel lens that provides optimum sensitivity and performance. Designed with an extensive "small-motion" area, the lens will detect even the slightest body movements within its horizontal 180-degree field of view.
For convenience, the sensor has two independently operating blinders that you can program to narrow the field of view (between 180 and 32 degrees) and prevent unwanted activation from traffic in adjacent space.
Push-Button Toggling Between On and Off ModesThe OSSNL-IDW features a push-button switch for manual selection of on and off modes. In 'on' mode, the lights will remain on in the presence of motion; in the absence of motion, the sensor unit will time-out and turn the lights off.
In 'off' mode, the lights will stay off regardless of motion detected, until the time-out expires. After the time-out expires, the lights will turn on (auto-on mode only) with the next detected motion. This feature is especially useful when you're making slide or film presentations.
Adjustable LED Night Light Guides You in the DarkIn addition to a motion sensor, the OSSNL-IDW features an LED NightLight. The NightLight operates separately from the lights that are controlled by the sensor, and it will turn on when its photocell detects ambient light that is less than one foot-candle. It will turn off when the ambient light exceeds five foot-candles.
The LED NightLight is adjustable for continuous mode or dimmed mode. In dimmed mode, the LED adjusts to five percent of full brightness after motion has not been detected for two minutes. You can choose the amount of illumination with a simple dial setting.
In continuous mode, the LED NightLight will go to full brightness (per your dial setting) when occupancy is detected and when the ambient light level is less than one foot-candle. It will return to the low setting when occupancy is no longer detected and the ambient light level is less than one foot-candle.
Ideal for Hospitals, Hotel Rooms, and MoreThe OSSNL is perfect for use in hospitality and health care facilities that have either auto or manual 'on' settings with adjustable time delays of 30 seconds to two hours.
It is also ideal for hotel rooms, conference rooms, class rooms, small offices, lounges, storage areas, bathrooms, and anywhere else you want automatic lighting control that will give you energy savings, improved safety, and convenience.
If you're looking to save energy, you'll be happy to know that the LED NightLight consumes less than one half of a watt while providing guide lighting when room lights are off.
Easy InstallationThe OSSNL-IDW is factory preset to deliver optimum performance in a wide variety of applications without any adjustments during installation. The unit can replace a single-pole wall switch mounted in a standard wall box, and it is gangable with other units. For further convenience, the unit features zero-crossing circuitry to enhance reliability and provide long-term operation. The OSSNL-IDW has a maximum coverage area of 1,200 square feet.
In order to operate, the OSSNL-IDW must have a neutral connection and must be properly grounded. Also, it should be positioned at least four feet away from HVAC registers. Note that when the unit is powered up, it will take approximately one minute to begin normal operation.
The OSSNL-IDW is UL and cUL listed and is NOM and CEC Title-24 Compliant. It is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

Leviton ODS10-ID Decora Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor (120/277V rating), White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I installed one of these in my laundry room (which is located just inside the garage door in my house). Now, whenever we come home, we don't have the fumble for the light switch. I've also installed one in the room that my wife uses for her office for the same reasons.
This switch comes with three adjustments to customize it to your needs.
First, it has an ambient light adjustment so that you can tell it not to turn on if there is already sufficient light in the room. If you turn this setting all the way up, the switch will become a manual on, auto off switch that will only turn on when you push the button, but will turn off after it senses no motion for a set period of time.
Second, it has a sensitivity adjustment, which adjusts how far the sensor will look for motion.
Third, it has a duration adjustment to tell it how long it should wait with no motion before turning the light off.
It also has a red LED, which blinks whenever it detects motion, so you can tell how whether your movements are being detected or not.

Heath Zenith SL-6107-WH Motion Activated Wall Switch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It works great. I wanted this for a while for our kitchen as it has no natural light coming in. We are always walking in or out with our hands full and I sometimes spill my drink trying to turn off the lights as I leave. Then after having our first child I was finally sold on getting one as my wife is always carrying the baby around.
As mentioned before it is a three way switch but I just used it as a single. Easy to setup the, the part that goes into the wall is slightly deeper than a normal switch but was also not as tall.
It has two great features:
Someone mentions that it doesn't have a choice of times for the lights to turn back on, not sure why they say that but this does have multiple time settings. You have 5s, 1m, 5m, 10m, 15m, 20m. Now I wish there were a few more time interval options like maybe 30 seconds, and a 2 minute one, but that is really not that big of an issue.
This also lets you adjust the photo sensitivity, so if your room has enough natural light during the day and you don't want this to turn on when the room already has enough light you can adjust that as well. I didn't try this as again my kitchen gets no natural light.
Both of these setting are under a small cover that is just above the switch (it has the "on", "off", "auto" positions written on it), you use a small screw driver to open the panel and then turn to the desired settings.
I have this connected to six lights, two are florescent lights. Have been using it for about a month now, hopefully it will last for a while, but considering the price and features it is a really good deal.

GE 57884 Motion Sensing or On/Off Light Switch, Single Pole, Ivory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I fool this to work with CFLs without the dance floor flashing effect by including one old style incandescent spot light among the CFL spots in the ceiling.
The unit works fine now for over a year in that mode and reduces electric cost by 41%.
The old style bulb evidently fools the circuit and the CFLs go along for the ride. The timer is adjustable with a thin screwdriver for the desired "turn off" delay after someone leave the room
In addition, there is another adjustable screw allowing it to NOT turn on the lights when there is daylight through the room windows. This of course is most useful if the switch faces the window and useless if the room has no windows.
I got this one in a local store

Leviton PR180-1LI Decora 500W Incandescent, 400VA, Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, Single Pole and 3-Way, Ivory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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).

Enerlites WOS15-W Passive Infrared Single Pole Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to say I've installed many dimmers, switches, fan controls, and timers. This one was a little confusing at first due to the extra wire. The way to install it is to find the "white" wireset that should be bundled in your gangbox and attach the white wire to that. Then the black wire and red wire go to the two wires that previously went to your wall switch. The green goes to ground, of course.
Once past that, I fiddled a bit with the time, trying to get the light to stay on only 1 minute as I have this in a laundry room between house and garage. I mostly wanted it so a light will come on when I open the door to go inside. The settings are controlled by small rotary dials. So it's hard to be exact. But it's easy to get it good enough.
There's a knob to have it also check ambient light before turning on. If enough light is present, it won't turn on. It comes pre-set so that lighting is ignored and it always comes on.
I couldn't find one of these locally in almond. I bought this product in ivory, which is lighter than the wall plate, but not as white as the white version. Lowes has wall plates similar in color to this unit.
I have it on a circuit with one CFL bulb and it works fine with it. If you read the reviews, other brands seem to have a problem with CFL's.

Turn lights on and off with the Enerlites WOS15 WH Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor. When an individual enters the room, the sensor automatically turns the lights on. When there is no more movement in the room and a set amount of time passes, the lights will then automatically go off. If a user turns the light on/off at the switch, it will remain on/off until returned to 'auto.' Adjustable time delay and motion sensitivity make the Sensor very customizable.

Leviton PR150-1LW 500W, Single Pole, 150 Degrees, 350 sq. ft. Passive Infrared Wall Switch Occupancy Sensor, Residential Grade, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have installed a couple of these switches, and they are not just plug-in and forget. The mini-manual the comes with them gives details, but in chinese-english that is hard to understand.
(1) Setup - There are two small thumb-wheel controls beside the motion-sensor. The one is for setting the length of time the switch is ON, and is obvious. The other one is quite delicate and compensates for ambient lighting and the lighting of the moving object. This is especially tricky when the motion sensor has a window in its view, and the ambient light it sees changes from day to night. If you have a window facing the switch, it would be best to put a blind in it to filter out some of the ambient light changes. With patience, I was able to get the switch to work well even though it faced a window. But it takes trial-and-error to compensate for motion during both day and dusk (it doesn't work at night).
(2) Flickering fluorescents - With the widespread conversion to fluorescent lighting, there is a new problem. The small screw-in spiral bulbs that replace incandescent lights have electronic "ballasts", which are totally different from those on the long fluorescent tubes. This motion-sensing light switch does not go completely OFF when there is no motion. A sensitive VOM will measure about 30+ volts on the hot line. However, there is little current available. The 30+ volts is enough to trigger the ballast on the spiral fluorescents, and it tries to light the lamp, however there is not enough current available and the light tries to go on, drains the minimal charge on the line, and then goes out. This repeats and you get a flicker. ---- You can solve this by replacing one of your lights with an incandescent lamp. This will constantly drain the charge trickle through the switch and prevent the voltage building up to trigger the ballast. I have used 45W and 60W bulbs, and both work. They just go in parallel with your spiral fluorescents. And you should no longer have any flicker.
**** With careful installation, these switches work quite well. My wife expecially appreciates the one in our laundry room which goes on automatically when she comes in with piles of laundry (we have a traditional marriage).

Solar Powered 15 LED Security Light and Motion Detector 2013 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was disappointed as soon as this item arrived in the mail, when I saw the tiny box it was packed in. Even moreso when I opened it, to find it was constructed entirely out of thin brittle plastic, the kind they used to make the old cheap transistor radios out of. I could only imagine how the sun and rain would erode this thing.
I should have cut my losses on the shipping charges and returned it immediately, but instead decided not to judge a book by its cheesy cover. I installed the thing on the front of my carport, and was happy to see it light up the first time I tested it. (This is no doubt the point where other reviewers decided to post their glowing reviews).
A few weeks later I noticed that the lights failed to turn on when I moved past the sensor. First chance I had I took it down and opened it up. I figured that the battery might have been defective, or old when they sent it. I'd try a new rechargeable battery and hopefully that'd fix it.
I got another nasty surprise at that point: the battery is hard-wired in so when it goes bad, it'll take an electrician just to change it. Which means that at the most, even if the unit you receive is better built than mine was, you'll end up replacing the entire unit once the battery expires (which they do, usually after a year or two if you live in a four seasons area).
When I went to remove the tiny transistorized control panel, the lights went on. Great, I thought. It isn't the battery, or the LEDs. Now all I need to do is figure out what the problem is.
To make a long (time wasted) story short, there was no way I could get the motion sensor to work, and as soon as I screwed the item back together the lights failed to work again.
The best I could hope for, if I wanted to keep wasting time on it, was to get the LEDs to turn on full-time, and stay on as long as the solar charge held. This mean they'd be on all day and night, and most likely once the charge drained it would just keep draining before building up another charge strong enough to power the lights.
Bottom line: this thing is very POORLY engineered with CHEAP parts that are likely fail soon after you purchase it. It probably costs under $3 to manufacture in some slave shop in China, so it's incredibly overpriced at over $30 with shipping.
It's no wonder there is only a 30 day guarantee on this POS.
I will never by another product from this company again.
