Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Also known as occupancy sensors, these controls turn lights on when movement is detected and off when an area is empty. They fit standard wall plates. All have a manual time delay that will turn lights off after a set amount of inactivity.
Dimming light controls adjust the light’s brightness.
Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors detect changes in heat as well as motion to minimize false activations. You can set them to use one or both detection methods to activate and keep lights on.
Controls with an automatic time delay can turn lights off automatically based on usage patterns.
For light controls with 24V DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120- or 277-volt AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Customize motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. These light controls connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to set schedules, control multiple lights remotely, and override the sensor function so you can manually turn lights on or off in the room. Also known as occupancy sensors, they also work without the app—they turn lights on when they detect movement and off when the area is unoccupied. These light controls fit in standard wall plates.
Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.

Smart Wall-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Dimmers
Control the brightness of lights from your smartphone. Using a Bluetooth-connected app on your phone or tablet, you can schedule when lights turn on, adjust their brightness levels, and set their movement sensitivity. Also known as occupancy sensors, these dimmers turn lights on when motion is detected and off when people are away. You can override the motion sensor function with a tap on the app to manually switch or dim lights. They fit in standard wall plates.
Dimmers with infrared/ultrasonic sensors minimize false activation by detecting changes in heat sources and motion. They can be set so that only one or both detection methods are required to activate and hold lights on.
For light controls with DC input voltage, you'll need a power controller to switch a 120V or 277V AC lighting circuit. Power controllers have a relay that switches a maximum 20-amp load.

Smart Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls
Fine-tune motion-sensing light controls from your smartphone or tablet. Mounting on the ceiling gives these light controls a clearer view of the room than wall-mount sensors, so they detect motion over a larger area. They connect to a free downloadable app using Bluetooth. Use the app to adjust the amount of time lights stay on after people leave, set schedules, or override the sensor so lights are always on. Also known as occupancy sensors, they turn lights on when they sense movement and off after people leave.
Controls with infrared/ultrasonic sensors have two detection methods to minimize false activation: infrared to sense heat sources and ultrasonic to sense motion. Use the app to adjust whether both or just one of these triggers will switch the lights.
Controls with a dimmer let you adjust the brightness of your lights.
