PIR Motion Sensor Switch, Ambient Light Level Detector, No Neutral Required, 5A, 150W LED/CFL, 1/6 HP, Occupancy Vacancy Modes, Ground Wire Required, Single Pole, TDOS5-JM, Black

At first I was suspicious of the low cost but I’m pleasantly surprised after installing and they work great. Definitely would purchase again. P.S. these do require a ground wire.

These worked out pretty well. The hot can go in either side into the back so somewhat easier for setup. You do need to wait a minute when restarting power for these to work. I put one in and was fixing another outlet on same circuit. Restarted power and this light did not turn on. Pressing button and movement didnt work. Cursed and went to put the cover on a different outlet nearby. Came back to look at it again and the motion light immediately turned on and worked fine. So I would recommend giving it a minute to startup when putting them in for them to work. Can see someone getting discouraged quickly when it doesnt start right off. Had same kind of delay with the second switch. Both are working fine now. Lowest delay before automatically turning off is listed on switch at 10minutes but have not timed this myself. Anyway, would recommend the switch since it works fine overall. Just a little delay before it starts working.

I'm using this for my bathroom as folks sometimes forget to turn off the light when leaving. It works great and is easy to set. The front panel needs to be pried off with a plastic spudger or similar tool in order to change the settings which is a bit awkward and could lead to damage but is easier than some other units. The weird part is the "warm up time" after installation where the switch will be in the "on" state until it's "warmed up" then will turn off. Overall I think this is a great value buy even if there are some eccentricities. 4/5 stars - Works and looks great but the time to "warm up" is unique in my experience to this unit. Additionally there's a 15 second on/off toggle to "train" the unit to the light level in the room which is unnecessary and easily triggered by accident.

I pulled the 25 year old light switches to find wires wrapped around the screws as expected. snipped the ends off and stripped a new 1/2" bare portion. I like that the wires enter from the rear, straight in a hole, and you lock down with screws on the sides. Switch is no fatter than a GFCI outlet and fits in a wall box easily after you accordion the wires behind it. Time to switch off and sensitivity are adjustable but I left to default as it turns off 15 seconds after I close the door. So handy for our His and Her separate closets that we seem to be constantly in and out of. Next test is longevity.

I just installed these motion sensor lights and they work great!. The motion detector is very sensitive and adjustable. The switches are easy to install and appear to be made very well. The price is awesome as well. I believe these switches are a good choice and I would recommend them to everyone looking to simplify entry and exit from a room where the light switch is in an inconvenient position. Now I don't need to reach over a chair to switch on a light, it comes on automatically and turns off when I leave. Worry free and well worth the money.

Installed these in closets where either the light gets left on, or the door closes and leaves you in the pitch black! Sensors only need a live and earth wires so connections are the same as a regular light switch. You don’t have to find a neutral in the box, undo the ‘nut’ and add a new neutral wire to the sensor. You can calibrate by removing the front of the unit - you can’t do this once the trim plate is on. The supplied trim plate last are standard size (meaning economy). My new house had pretty rough sheetrock cutouts and the supplied trims didn’t cover fully. I purchased for a couple of bucks 2 oversize ones which fixed the issue Sensor reliability had been good - detecting our movement reliably and we had minimal false alerts

The good: Works well. Easy installation. The bad: Horrible QC. Multiple DOAs. Here's the whole story. Bought a 2 pack. faceplates not in package. Could have sworn they would be. Not a deal breaker. Grabbed a few from the local box store for less than a buck a piece. Installed. One DOA. These things happen. I figure I'd sort it out. Reached out to Amazon. They advised going to the manufacturer and claimed that this would be the fastest way to get a replacement. Reached out to the manufacturer. They said to go ahead and request a replacement through Amazon as that would be the fastest way to obtain a replacement. Okay, a little irritated to get bounced around but, I still have options. Requested a replacement through Amazon. While waiting for my replacement, I decided I really liked the function of these and decided to purchase another set. Like many, I have a habit of leaving the lights on in a few rooms and I figured that this could be a great way to solve that problem 2nd set, both DOA. However, this set had faceplates. Now, I'm questioning their QC. However, I only really need 3 working and my replacement set is on the way. Figure I'll sort it out after the replacement set arrives. Might have to make one more return but, okay I guess. Replacement set arrives. 1 DOA. Has faceplates. So, in summary, I am now an expert at removing and installing these and reinstalling the original switches. Over the course of 3 shipments, I have 2/6 working motion switches. Steer clear of these. There is no QC whatsoever. While I am happy with what I have working, if/when these fail, I will steer clear of this brand.

Single switch in the closet works great but I had a hard time routing the wires in another location because of 2 different switches controlling the light. I ended up leaving the neutral wire tied outside of the switch along with 1 red wire not connected at all for it to work. The other switch that’s I the garage must remain in the on position but it’s working.

Product works great and as it should. no real complaints. However one small jiffy, the motion sensor doesn't seem to capture anything below it, so my kid sometimes doesn't trigger it - or the one by our stairs doesn't get triggered until you're leveled with the sensor... I imagine a lot of them on the market are like that though. BIG QUESTION: had a question for the seller or anyone with the know-how, here it goes: Does anyone have any clue how to get the wall switch to trigger the same light from two different areas? Here's my dilemma, I have a turning stair case and the motion switch is installed at the top, and no switch or motion sensor at the bottom. It only triggers at the top going down. However going from bottom up nothing triggers until I reach the top landing area where the motion sensor switch is. Ideally I would like for the light to trigger on both ends since I go up and down the stairs frequently. I've tried using a mirror with mixed success. At fairly close proximity it appears to work if I angle it right. But a little further midway down the stairs and it doesn't trigger anything. Not sure whether it's cause I'm not angling it right or whether the mirror somehow diminishes the "strength" of the sensor... otherwise based on observation the sensor itself is strong enough to reach the distance I'm shooting for. My other option was to solder long wires to a separate PIR motion sensor I purchased (see image gallery). The additional PIR motion sensor is simply just that, a sensor with 4 wires coming out... not a switch. I was hoping to place this one at the bottom of the stair case, using long wires to connect it to the upper stair case Motion sensor light switch. I was thinking of soldering the wires directly to the circuit board of the motion sensor light switch (same connection points where the native sensor is already installed on the switch.) I'm assuming if I solder the same wires to the same points it'll somehow complete a circuit or trigger it the same way the native sensor would. But after taking a closer look at the circuit board, not all the connection points are labeled clearly enough where I would feel comfortable enough to go ahead with it. If anyone has any suggestions it would be appreciated! better yet, if anyone could suggest how I can get this to work that would be awesome. Wow I wrote a lot, hope this finds somebody lol.

Works as intended. I use it in the bathroom, it turns on the lights when I enter (when it detects movement). There's no light sensor, meaning it will turn on regardless of the ambiant brightness. I set the dial so it turns off automatically after 3 min. One thing to note : it doesn't seem to detect movement through glass. When in the bathtub, it doesn't see me if I stand behind the glass. I find myself raising my hand back where the glass doesn't hides me. I don't think it's a defect, it's just how the technology works.

Al inicio todo bien... las luces de la escalera encendian con el sensor y permanecian encendidas de acuerdo al tiempo que se ajuste... pero en tan solo un par de meses, las luces quedaron encendidas permanentemente... no hubo forma de apagarlas... ni manualmente... tuve que retirar estos switches y volver al convencional (manual). NO lo recomiendo.

It was easy to install and works as advertised. However, the light sensor is factory-set, and it's too high. A manual set would be better. As it is, the lights come on during daylight.

Je viens d'installer mon 3e interrupteur. Ils fonctionnent tous très bien. Installation et ajustement faciles. Note importante : après installation et remise du courant, allouer 15 minutes d'attente. Ce n'est qu'après ce délai que tout se met à bien fonctionner. Cette précision n'est pas mentionnée dans le feuillet d'instructions. Autre point : cet interrupteur s'allume dès qu'il voit du mouvement, même en plein jour. Il n'est pas muni d'un système de détection de luminosité, d'où l'attribution de 4 étoiles.
