Can a sensor replace a standard wall switch?

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.

What is the difference between an Occupancy and Vacancy sensor switch?

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.

If there is sufficient daylight in an area, will the occupancy sensor still automatically turn the lights on?

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.

If I have pets, will their movement trigger the occupancy sensor to turn the lights on?

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.

Can a sensor be triggered by humidity or a heat source?

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.
