Great. Reliable

This is the 2nd motion sensor switch I've purchased and installed in the last 7 years. The old switch just decided to stop working a couple months ago, so I got this as a replacement. This motion sensor switch is perfect in my attached garage. The light switch in my garage is in the most awkward spot. It's 2 feet away from the door opening and down 2 steps. Not something you want to try and find when it's pitch black and you can't see a thing!Instead of risking my life to go into my garage of darkness, I installed this motion sensor switch. It's great! The light comes on whenever I open the door and I never have to remember to turn it off. You simply set the length of time you want the light to stay on (15 seconds to 30 minutes) and you're good to go. The light also comes on as I drive my car into the garage so there is plenty of light for me to see when I get out of my car.You can also override the automatic settings if you need the light longer than your standard settings. You just slide the switch from Auto to Manual. Just remember to change it back or the light will be left on all day and night!I live in MN so we have pretty extreme temperatures (below zero to hot/humid) and this switch has worked well in all conditions. It can be a little slow in the subzero temps in the winter, but I haven't noticed any major issues aside from that.Like another reviewer said, the instructions say that it needs a NEUTRAL wire. Make sure you have a neutral wire in the box where this will be installed or this switch won't work for you. It took about 10 minutes to install and a minute or two to adjust the sensor settings.

I purchased these switches because I needed to control a light and exhaust fan in a couple of bathrooms. The existing double switch was in a single gang box in a cement wall, so expanding that to a double gang box was not an option. The switches were easy to install and "program." I set the light to come on automatically with motion, as the bathrooms do not have windows for natural light, so folks not familiar with them had to search around for the switches. I set the fan to be turned on manually. Both the light and the fan turn off automatically after 5 or so minutes of no movement. I'm quite satisfied with the operation of the switches.

Overall good motion sensor that works well. This company saved money by not incorporating a digital timer. Unfortunately they used a very cheap rheostat. It is impossible to set less than 9 mins and 45 seconds but more than 10 seconds on the two units I have. Not good for adjusting time.Wires are well labeled and it was an easy install. Fit perfect with the Decor wall cover.

APPLICATION: Home Theater Hallway Entrance Automatic Occupancy Switch with Manual OverrideUSE CASE: Automatically turns on the lights when entering the room allowing enough time to get settled before turning the lights off (I set it to 1min duration). I applied white electrical tape over a portion of the sensor so that it does not turn on the lights when passing this hallway without entering the room.WHY THIS TYPE OF SWITCH: I selected this specific switch because I can quickly turn off the switch when getting up to leave the room so that I don't disturb others who are adjusted to the dim lighting. This switch will permanently stay off until its manually switched back into auto mode. Similarly, if I am entertaining without watching a movie I can set it to keep the lights on, even when no motion is sensed in the hallway.THE GOOD: Works great with any kind of lighting (CFL, LED, Incandescent). The Leviton PR150-1LW Motion Sensing Light Switch that this was modeled after will cause many LED lights to flicker in the automatic setting mode, so I am replacing all of these in my house with the TOPGREENER version. I could not find any name brand (Leviton or Luxtron) switches with manual override control that also work with any lighting.THE BAD: The industrial design is a little bulky ugly. The passive IR sensor protrudes from the wall giving it good 180deg visibility, but it doesn't look as modern and nice as the Lutron Maestro MS-OPS Motion Sensing Lightswitches that I use for high traffic areas or locations where I want reliable automatic control without any manual override. I am not familiar with the TOPGREENER brand. However the quality seems good.NOTE: I am trying to go paper free and eliminate all printed manuals. TOPGREENER does not appear to post any PDF manuals on their website, so I am going to attach scanned copies of their paper manual with this review. I am uploading PNG files as Amazon does not allow me to attach a PDF.
