Motion Detection switch that just works but watch warranty claims
As part of my home automation project, I purchased a number of WiFi controlled switches to operate lights while I am away. I was planning to put one of these WiFi switches in one closet, but the cost versus the benefit of doing so was lacking. I also had a programmable one in mind, but this switch was a better alternative for this specific application.My house was built in 2014. It has a neutral wire in the box thanks to a fuse box full of AFCI (Arc fault) circuit breakers. I wanted to avoid another connection break and add another wire to the neutral bundle already in the box if possible. This neutral wire free Passive Infrared (PIR) switch was my solution.What I like:* No neutral wire required, but a ground wire is required* Line/Load connections are interchangeable — eliminate guesswork as to which black wire (Hot) is which* Same size as the bulky builder installed rocker switch I replaced* The switch is mounted on the adjoining wall next to the door* It picks me up as soon as I cross the door threshold* Adjustable sensitivity for the PIR detector for a small, medium and large size rooms, up to 800 sq. ft.* Adjustable time on – from 30 seconds (test mode) to 30 minutes* No minimum wattage required — I have two (2) 8 watt LED bulbs attached.* No flicker or strobing from this low wattage use application* You can also manually switch this unit on and off* The manual switch button is located at the bottom of the switch* The included switch plate works, but it was smaller than the original switch plate used with my old switch — covers the drywallers mistakes better* Wire nuts and switch plate screws are includedI do not use vacation mode. I use occupied mode all the time. It is nice — walk in and the motion detector picks me up, turns on the light and keeps it on for 3 minutes (or whatever time you pre-program in) after I leave the closet. I don’t have to think about turning off the light. It is truly — set-n-forget!I’m going to put one in the upstairs guest closet in the very near future.One other review talked about idle wattage used, or put another way, the constant power sucking or “Vampire Effect” of this switch as compared to other PIR switches. The reviewer went into great detail about how much electricity was used over a given period of time. That same reviewer has a valid point, but to drone on about it for a half page with some flawed calculations is a bit excessive.Irrespective of this switches Vampire Effect, PIR sensors will use power to keep the PIR activated. It is unavoidable, but it is not excessive. That same power usage argument can also be used regarding any WiFi or WiFi Hub switch you activate remotely via a web app. If it adds a dollar or so a year to your electric bill, I look at it as a cost of having the convenience of a reasonable priced PIR switch that I don’t have to activate each and every time I go into my closet. To me, this switch is truly set and forget and I don’t worry about the nominal increase in current draw at idle.One final point of clarification and to bring focus regarding real world practicality — there was a $20.00 difference in price between the web activated switch i was going to install and this one. Based upon the other reviewers flawed calculations at $1.00/year of additional cost in this specific switch’s electricity usage by means of the Vampire Effect, I will start to lose money in just over 20 years down the road, if this switch is not replaced or upgraded in the interim. That is the cold financial reality when you do the math.Excessive vs. necessary power usage in your application is the choice only you can answer. If minor Vampire Effect concerns you, then this and other remote activation switches are not for you and you should keep your traditional on/off switch to avoid this additional expense.Having a PIR switch in rooms that you enter with hands full only makes sense. I can recommend this switch without reservation.*******02/10/2017 – UpdateI doubled down on this switch and purchased a second one being TOPGREENER Occupancy Motion Sensor Switch TDOS5, 500 Watts Single-Pole Free Wall Plate NEUTRAL REQUIRED, White. This one came up on Lightning Deal and I purchased it. This switch requires a neutral wire, which my home has.I installed this switch in the downstairs powder room. Unlike the non-neutral wire switch I talked about above, this one has tagged Line and Load wiring. Not difficult to connect correctly after you dig all of the wires out of the electrical box. After installing (all of 10 minutes) and configuring it, this switch just works.My wife loves these switches — having arms full of laundry, there is no more fumbling around to turn on the laundry room light. Cross the threshold of the laundry room doorway and “on” goes the light. Moving around inside the laundry room keeps the light activated. Even with the dryer running, we have not experienced any false triggers due to the heat given off by the dryer.Same for the powder room light switch. Cross the threshold and on comes the light. Now, I have to buy one for the powder room fan.This switch is truly a set-n-forget operation.Next lightning deal purchase . . . . . powder room fan?*******05/29/2017 — UpdateFive (5) more switches, a combo of neutral required and non-neutral wire required switches. Here is where I have installed them:* 2 in guest room closets for lights* 1 in the laundry room for the light* 2 in the downstairs powder room – one (1) for light and one (1) for fan* 1 in Master bath for fan* 1 in guest bath for fanSeven (7) switches in total. They all work as represented. I have yet to have a false trigger or a failure to turn on/off as programmed.People have commented about this automation project and several have made the upgrade in their homes. An inexpensive enhancement that will service you for years.*******08/20/2017 – UpdateHad one switch go bad. The switch would turn on, but would never turn off. Tried to reset, adjust it out but nothing worked. Warranty time.Here is where it turned into a real process. Emailed the company through their website — total waste of time. Did it after hours on Friday, received a “out of office” response, but no follow up from CS. Come the following Wednesday, emailed them through Amazon. Responded within 3 hours. Several more emails and received an email with RMA # and shipping label. Shipped to Southern California, I live in Las Vegas, NV.Sent to the company the next day. My RMA fell into the abyss over the holiday weekend.Following up, they located my return and shipped (by slowest means possible) my replacement, which took almost a week to receive — So Cal to Las vegas, NV. In total, over three (3) weeks time to get a warranty replacement for a switch that went bad. The replacement works just fine, along with the balance of the switches installed.These switches work good, but if you have one go bad, be prepared for a lot of follow-up and waiting on your part for your replacement. CS is lacking from this company.

Newer generation compared to my old one.
Replacing a 9+ year old motion detector for our pantry that started reacting to the poltergeists in the house. It would activate when neither of us were near. This new one has a sensitivity adjust that I turned down so the buggers can’t bother us anymore. It was easy to install: I couldn’t tell hot from load–both black, but a voltmeter between each black wires and neutral will show no voltage on the load wire & 115V on the hot. I just screwed a wire nut over the hot while I installed. I know, I know….kill the breaker or I’ll become another poltergeist. I’m lazy but cautious. It also has an adjustment for light duration, and for staying off when a room is light.

These motion sensor light switches are excellent. I wish I had bought them sooner!
Initially, I purchased these to replace a switch at the top of my basement stairs that I thought was a single pole turns out it was not, and these could not be used. It became a happy accident as I quickly found places to install these switches. They are excellent in bedrooms, I have a little one running around leaving the lights on, but this switch resolved that issue. They are great in laundry rooms when your hands are full. They are great at the top or bottom of the steps if your hands are full. I can’t imagine not having these switches installed. My only regret with this purchase is that I wish I had bought them sooner, as they are so handy to have installed. On a side note, I figured I would mention that the wall plates are included. I remember having to look for that information when I was purchasing them for the first time.Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this product. I would definitely recommend it.

Bonito diseño y durables

I had several motion sensors in our basement hallways, but I needed the ability to turn them off in the middle of the night so I would not be blinded by the light every time I got up. These sensors give me control of the light and I can turn the motion feature OFF as needed. Works great.
