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 sensors detect changes in heat sources and need a direct view of people.

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.

Add companion switches to control lights manually without having to wire them directly into the light circuit. Attach them to any interior wall or outlet box and pair them wirelessly on the app.

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 sensors detect changes in heat sources and require a direct view of people occupying the space to activate.

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 Wall/Ceiling-Mount Motion-Sensing Light Controls

Monitor passersby and trespassers with light and an alert. For facility security, these light controls notify you on a smartphone app when they sense motion and turn on. You can also use the app to link additional lights and configure which lights turn on when movement is detected. Also known as occupancy sensors, they use an infrared sensor to detect changes in heat sources, so they need a direct view of people. The included mounting bracket swivels 90°, so you can install them on your wall or ceiling.
