Review: Four wires and you're done - It is a good idea to understand three way switches before starting. That being said, very easy to install, very easy to program and works terrific. I have it in my garage so now I have more light than just the puny light in the door opener that comes on automatically.
Review: Perfect Fix for a 3-Way Garage Setup - This worked perfectly with my 3-way setup. I have one mechanical switch on one side and the Leviton on the other, and it works great in my garage. Previously, the light switch was behind the door, so I had to walk down the steps into a dark garage just to reach it. That’s no longer an issue—the light turns on as soon as I enter the garage. The manual switch still works as expected and will also time out, since the sensor functions with manual operation as well. If I had to complain about anything, it would be that the auto-off feature cannot be disabled once installed. However, you can set the timer to up to 20 minutes if needed or simply wave your hand to reset it, so it’s not a big drawback. Very happy with this solution—thank you. Make sure you follow the directions as it must be placed where traveler wires go to the light. The mechanical switch must be placed where power enters from panel per directions you can not change this. Must work with a mechanical switch also.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can a sensor replace a standard wall switch?**
A: Yes, it is designed to replace a standard wall switch and can be installed with or without a neutral wire. Perfect for retrofit applications where a neutral wire may not be present in the wallbox.

**Q: What is the difference between an Occupancy and Vacancy sensor switch?**
A: An occupancy sensor turns lights on and off automatically based on motion in the space. A vacancy sensor requires the user to manually turn the lights on and automatically turns the lights off when motion is no longer detected.

**Q: If there is sufficient daylight in an area, will the occupancy sensor still automatically turn the lights on?**
A: Leviton’s occupancy sensors incorporate an ambient light override setting which, when enabled, will prevent the sensor from switching the lights on when there is ample daylight in the space.

**Q: If I have pets, will their movement trigger the occupancy sensor to turn the lights on?**
A: There’s a possibility that movement of a pet or small child within 8 feet of the sensor can trigger the lights to turn on. However, the sensor sensitivity can be adjusted, or the sensor can be set to manual-on so it functions as a vacancy sensor.

**Q: Can a sensor be triggered by humidity or a heat source?**
A: In some instances, if placed too close to a heat source such as a dryer, stove or heating vent, the heat generated may trigger the lights to turn on or prevent them from turning off. For optimal results, do not install the sensor near heat sources.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Fix for a 3-Way Garage Setup

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tech support, know your wiring
*by R***Y on August 1, 2025*

It's tough to accommodate every electrical scenario but this unit will not work in my house because the box with the LOAD (where the sensor MUST be installed) is at the wrong end of the stairs. The sensor labeling itself is confusing (they use a "line" wire for a traveler) BUT the paper directions are very clear. Their call-in tech support was OUTSTANDING, speaking at the right technical level and not spending time on entry-level stuff.
